Hey everyone. I know, I always say that I don't make cards........and looking at this card, its pretty obvious that I don't, lol. But I needed a couple of thank you cards and thought I'd have a bash at making them myself. They are very simple because I'm completely rubbish at making cards but I like plain and simple cards. So this is what I came up with.
I'm meeting up with my wee matey, Maddy Madster today (Ooooo get me with my alliteration ) ......YIPPEEEE! You all know Maddy, from her Blog Izzwizz Creations and if you don't....click HERE. So we are meeting up to have a good aul natter and try to set the world to rights, lol. All we need is some double sided tape and a good pair of scissors and that'll sort out the world's problems, heehee.
Anywhoodles, here is my attempt at card making......very simple card making, lol.

| I used the butterfly Tonic punch and punched out one butterfly from a blue vellum and the top butterfly is actually a piece from a wallpaper sample. I love going to B&Q and getting a few wallpaper samples. Its great stuff to craft with and the paper quality is fabulous and thick. Obviously due to Copyright Laws I wouldn't advise anyone using wallpaper samples in anything you sell. But certainly using it for personal use shouldn't be a problem. I then took a paint brush and brushed on stickles to add a bit of sparkle to the butterfly. |

| This is a Timmy Holtz stamp. I love this sentiment. I also used 2 gold line peel off's to border the stamped image and help make it pop a bit more. |
