Friends

We still have a little snow lying here, but the sun is out and the sky is a clear blue so no doubt it will all be gone by the end of the day even though it is still really cold.
As I was confined to the house because of the snow (!!😀😀) I made quite a few cards.
The sky might be blue but I had a terrible job taking this pic!
The butterfly stamp is an old one. Part of a set with flowers but no idea whose it is. I embossed it in white and then used my DOx Shaded Lilac.
Confess I am really like the oxides... need to get some more!

This is a really simple and quick card - I made another using a different butterfly and another colour.

The sequins are actually an incredible exact match to the lilac in real life although they do have a pinky tinge to them on here. But when all said and done - bling is bling!!

The sentiment is from SU - and I stamped it in Wilted Violet DI. Often when I use DI's to stamp sentiments they don't give a good impression but this time it worked perfectly.

Such a delicate and pretty card. Yes I am seeing more sentiments stamped in the oxides and they seem to work really well and it's lovely to see them stamped in different colours. Beautiful card and yes bling is bling x

A very pretty card for our 'Bring on the Bling' theme at Allsorts challenge Viv and such pretty soft shading, many thanks for joining in. Don't like the paper talk, they can keep their hands off him.
