Bring out the sunshine and Pink Blooms



An aptly named stamp , for the weather here , MFT " bring out the sunshine". Such a pretty girl , in her paper pieced gingham dress and hat . The papers are from a pad called florabunda , by Hunkydory . I got inspiration from the lovely butterfly paper , fussy cut several little butterflies to look like they are in flight. I added some diamond gems for the vapour trail, wouldn't it be wonderful if butterflies left real diamonds in their wake.
The image is coloured with pro and brush markers , the sentiment is computer generated , the font used is called , ink free, I think it looks similar to the ones on the MFT pure innocence stamps. The square dies are from Sue Willson double & pierced squares .

challenges entered :
Double D's : butterflies 
The cutie pie challenge : hip to be square (use squares and must be cute )
Dream Valley : add gems, pearls or both 


for my second card , not a cutie  , more of a grown up card , no critters either.
My card features a die and stamp set called bloom , it was the free gift with issue 191 of Simply cards & Papercraft. I coloured with pro and brush markers . The fancy square die is from Paper Rose and is called Amberley Floral Square. I've used nuvo jewel drops ,rosewater, in the corners and dotted on the flowers. A gold elastic tied bow finishes the card.
Another hot day today , lovely day for photographing.

passion for promarkers : flower power
I love promarkers : anything goes

The top picture , shows my card resting on , one of my favourite plants , Sedum , I grow several varieties in the garden , this one is dark pink when it comes out and the butterflies love this late bloomer , so I thought it an apt place to photograph my card.

Enjoy the sun , and garden , if you have one , and Happy Crafting . Jane x
