I'd like to start by welcoming my two new followers
Jules from Always With a Heart and Karen from Karen's Kreative Kards . I hope you will be able pop over to visit them both.
I wanted to join in at the new Double D Challenge blog and this time the theme is Feeling Green. I think I have just the thing.
I recently won one of the super little bags that Mrs A gives as prizes for her Butterfly Challenge. As green is my favourite colour I chose the green option.
I don't know how Mrs A managed to cram so much into that lovely hessian bag but I was keen to use some of it.
I got out an old set of Hero Arts stamps and stamped and cut out the typewriter.
Everything else came in the bag. I coloured in the green butterflies on the background paper with watered down orange from a Sakura Starlight pen then attached it to the front of my card and rounded one corner with a punch.
I shaped the little butterfly and stuck it on top with glue gel. Isn't that ribbon lovely!
We're going out to dinner with six friends very soon. I hope you enjoy your evening too.
