Butterfly Kisses.....





Hello everyone, we're having a heatwave up here this weekend it's been really fabulous. I've been out and about so haven't got many cards done , except this one. I did this card for the Charisma challenge that is set for the DT every month, just for a bit of fun. This challenge is from Leanne the co owner of Charisma. She bought these cards as blanks with 9 covered apertures and gave them to us to see what we could do with them. I've stared at it for three weeks and last night came up with this idea....
As you can see I've covered up the middle three apertures so that I could fit in my sentiment, Leanne said we could alter it if we wanted. I've taken the back off the card and used it for the sentiment so that it matched up, then I put the remaining card behind the apertures and added little butterflies. On the front I put self adhesive seals that I bought in Miller's Art store in Glasgow a few weeks ago and they cost me 10 pence as they were in the sale bucket. Not a bad buy for 10p. They are a pale pink metallic finish. I added some gingham ribbon and then mounted the whole thing onto pink card stock.
Well I'm sooooooo glad I've got this done at last, I hadn't a clue until last night what I was going to do with it. but I really like the way it turned out. Hope Leanne likes it too. Right now I'm off out into the garden to do some tidying up then I've got the family for dinner. Hope the sun is shining where you are...

Take care and thanks for taking the time to pop in.
