I wanted to make my card to enter into Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge #65 - H is for Hoops/and or Harebells and everything came together quite quickly.
I had a piece of paper on my desk which after adding a little more blue was the colour. I searched out a set of small flower stamps that I used to use for ATC and there it was - a tiny harebell stamp which I stamped randomly onto the background.
The "hoops" were die cut with the Sizzix Bright Bubbles die that I'd used for the first time yesterday when I had a little practise with it.
The Sentiment stamp is from a Hobby Arts set of sentiments and the butterfly from a sheet of 3D butterflies that have been in my stash for years.
I would also like to enter my card into the Challenge on The Allsorts Challenge blog - Week 386 where this time they are asking for Sparkle and Shine.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture either the sparkle or shine very well in this photograph.

It's always hard to capture sparkle on photos Barb but I can imagine it IRL, a beautiful Butterfly and clever way of incorporating the hoops. Many thanks for joining in at Allsorts this week.

That reminds me Barb, I quite fancied that bubble die, sitting on my hands! Got so much already that I haven't used, trying to be good.
A beautiful card and I am loving the butterfly, stunning.
Hugs Erika. x
Lovely soft and subtle colouring and that butterfly looks right at home on the bubbles.
Another beautiful make. I bet Mrs A loved it. x
This is very pretty Barb and fits the challenge perfectly. The Harebell stamp looks great on that lovely coloured background, and the Sizzix Bubble die cut with the butterfly sitting on it is a beautiful focal image, and a very stylish Hobby Arts sentiment too. x
A beautiful card Barb, I do like the diecut bubbles as a background for the butterfly.
