Blue Butterflies

 

Hello to all in 'blogland'

Recently I entered a challenge over at I Spy With My Little Eye, and was thrilled

when my card was chosen as one of the Top 2. I was even more thrilled when I

was invited to be a guest designer for their current challenge (# 12), the theme 

of which is "...Something Beginning With 'B'.

This is the card I designed using 3 B's...blue, butterflies and birthday.

I believe the design fold is called a 'box-seat' fold.

This is the back of the card showing the centre panel, where I will write

my personal message to the recipient.

A view from the top of the card, which shows fairly clearly

how the card has been constructed.

This view is of the card lying flat.

Fiery Dragon/dinosaur

 

Hello to all out there in 'Blogland'.

Do you find that while some months are more relaxing as far as needing to

make birthday cards, several others have birthdays coming at an alarming 

rate? Those months for me are January, February, March and July.

This card was for a dear little boy we have known since he was born. I 

matted several images from a sheet of DSP by Art Stamps Australia. 

I die-cut the various stars from glitter foam, and the greeting is 

Stampin' Up.

A close-up look at the dragon/dinosaur. I think he is trying

to be scary, but I just think he is so cute.

Challenges I would like to enter :-

Crafty Animals #80 - Anything Goes

Critter Crazy #83 - Anything Goes (must feature a critter)

Cupcake Inspirations #588 - Dinosaurs

Hugs,

Jennifer. x
