PDCC 80 and a couple more...

Hi all, I have a card today for a few challenges.

The colours are for The Play Date Cafe, a gorgeous summery warm pallette.



And here's my take:


I have used a white card base, and the circle die cut is a Nellie snellen die. I have paper pieced the butterfly, from Hero Arts with some Cosmo Cricket papers, and also used some of this paper for the edging, which was punched with a Martha Stewart punch.


The central panel beneathe the die cut is orange bazzill which has been embossed with a Cuttlebug script folder.


Added a Waltzingmouse sentiment some gems and two flower halves.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

The Play date Cafe

Sugar Creek Hollow

Creative Inspirations

Flutterby Wednesdays

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline xx

Pauline, I clicked on your pic to make it larger, and I could see so many of the pretty details that way. I like the embossed orange background, that adorable pieced butterfly, and the way you wrapped your sentiment with a flower; resembles a butterfly that way, too! THanks for playing with us at The Cafe. :)
