Simple flowers

My card today is a CAS flower card, the layout of which I saw demonstrated by Andrea Walford of Paper Crafters Library.  I didn't have any of the products she used, so I found a silhouette stamp of a flower and a branch of foliage, and a lined image of a flower from my collection.  It is a very simple and delicate card, but I do like it.  The sentiment comes from Stampin' Up set Fifth Avenue.

    Thanks Cheryl - it is nice to see the same 'faces' again - isn't the card community such an encouraging environment!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
