This is one of those of those cards that came out of know where. Just before midnight last night I went into my craftroom to have a bit of a tidy as my desk was messy. Was putting a stamp away when this one caught my eye. My Websters papers were out and so was my favourite TH Butterfly stamp. So I sat and played and this is what I came up with.
The annoying this is, earlier in the evening, I coloured an image for a DT Card, but trying to make it up was a nightmare. Couldn't decide on papers, embellishments etc so I thought I'd sleep on it. Spur of the moment seems to work for me!
The Websters papers have been stamped randomly with the Butterfly stamp. Used "Memories" to stamp in the box which was blank. MS Punched Butterflies which have been spritzed with Glimmer Mists and again the Gold Adirondaak Dabber, piece of Lace, Pearl Pen, Gems and lots of Stickles.
Let me know what you think, I'm rather pleased with this one.

Have added this card and more stamps to my EBAY.
I'm going to be quiet during the day for the rest of the week. Will blog hop when I can but not much crafting. Convinced hubby to take a few days off and with the Bank Holiday we will get some family time. He works long hours and trying to get him to take a few days holiday is a nightmare. So lots of day trips planned. Not gonna miss out on this glorious weather we are having here in Kent.
Have a lovely day and enjoy the rest of your week
