Good morning and happy Victoria Day! This weekend is a long weekend and I have put it to good use, painting my Guest Room and getting some major deep house cleaning done! I have purged some clothing and old sheets, tossed out lots of old condiments from the fridge and even cleaned my oven! Yes, I was motivated!
But you didn't stop by to read about my crazy weekend of cleaning! I hope you came by to see what the newest colour challenge is over at Picture Perfect Creations this week!!! Here it is!
I love the colours Marina Mist, Old Olive and Early Espresso. I inked up the wonderful set called "Strength and Hope" which has such a gorgeous butterfly in it!! I love how it stamps!!! I used my crimper AGAIN and added some little details like the satin ribbon and the few sprays of green leaves on the side.
No Stampin' Up did not get a new die for the Big Shot, that circle die is a Nestie and was a Christmas Gift from my wonderful Mother-in-Law. This is the first time I have used it and I love how it looks on this card!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I sure hope you get the chance to join us this week at Picture Perfect Creations!!!
So beautiful Lesley. You have used my favourite sentiment stamp and I adore this butterfly from the strength and hope set!

What a beautiful card, Lesley! I love that color combo so I may have to play along this week if I have time. Your take on the color combo is lovely and I love the background you created. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI recently started following your blog and have found a lot of cards that I really like. This card with strength and hope is certainly no exception. It is one of my favorite sets. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Way to put your weekend to good use. Love your stunning card again this week. Those butterflies are so awesome and I love, love the sentiment. You rocked another yummy color combo!!!
