Contemplating Butterflies at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge over at The Paper Shelter and this week we are asking you to Embellish It, so break out that bling!

I am showing off a brand new image 'Contemplating Butterflies', which is perfect for this theme and also this time of year. I have seen a few butterflies about lately, but not so many varieties as I used to see back home.


For a change, I chose the papers first then coloured the image to match.


I added some more butterflies and finished them off with some gems. I doubled the die cut with a black layer to help the butterflies stand out more against the busy paper.


And the finishing touch is some paper flowers with fuzzy centres.


Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

Relax...It's Mother's Day

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Halfway through May already and I haven't shared a single MerMay project on here yet! I've been busy colouring a few images though and sharing them on Facebook and Instagram for the Sweet November Stamps challenge.

My first card is a scene I had printed off a while ago, then put aside for design team projects. Once I had it all coloured up, I decided it would be perfect for a Mother's Day card.

Days Of Old at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Well that couple of weeks just flew by, so it's time for some more inspiration for The Paper Shelter. This week we are asking you to share a creation with the theme of Days Of Old.

I turned to one of our vintage ladies for this - 'Coquette' is perfect for a sepia-toned look and of course I had to go with some Steampunk accessories too! Distressed edges help to give an older feel and I thought a retirement card was also perfect for the theme.


I love working with different shades of brown to create a sepia look
