Less is More Challenge, Week 125

My post today is to wish Jen from LIM a very happy birthday, and a safe return from Istanbul.  The challenge this week at Less is More Week 125  is to make a card that Jen would like, so I have made a blue butterfly, which I believe she is very fond of.  I used a border cut by Annabelle Stamps and stamped the butterfly which is by Kaisercraft onto fine blue striped vellum, white embossed it and cut it out.  The sentiment is by Sweet 's Sassy from a set called Rhubarb's Birthday wish.  The vellum in truth is a pale aqua colour, matching the card base, but somehow looks darker after I enhanced the photo.

    I love that butterfly!
    Thanks so much

    I like the border punch too mum. I really like all the quatrefoil patterns and others like it at the moment. Very smart. I am seeing a cookie beneath it but still, very attractive.

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can!

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...
