There are a few things that I love on cards, but I think that butterflies have to be my all time fave. I have had these coloured card packs for years, so thought I should try and alter the design and use them up. This is going to be my personal challenge for the next few weeks to try and use up these cards!!! As well as use all my old papers that haven't seen the light of day!!
Today has also been very interesting as this morning, my family and I went to the top of the world....to the top of Burj Khalifa, the worlds tallest building - it was amazing!! I don't like heights, but wow, what a view!!
Recipe: Laura Ashley Contemporary paper and ribbon, flowers cut from punch, computer generated sentiment, flower gems from stash, cats eye ink for edges, charm from ebay, card blank from Making Moments
I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Lastly, here is a pic I took when I was at the top of Burj Khalifa this morning - its of 'The Address' Hotel and Souk al Bahar. To the left you can see the very large (although in this pic it looks tiny), Dubai Mall.- Pile It On #13 - Easel Card - I'm loving these Easel Cards!
