What a fabulous week it's turning out to be! Not only this super sunny weather, but also the fab time I had yesterday meeting up with some fellow PTI Addicts (Caryn and Taheerah) to have a girly night at the Trafford Centre!
Just sharing a couple of cards today for challenges that I just had to play along with and had lots of fun doing so in the process!
This was for the Embellish Challenge, which I personally think was thought of with me in mind LOL! Earthy tone, green, and the requirement of a butterfly on your project really got my mojo going!
Now I used a butterfly punch that I'm totally guilty of neglecting. I really should use the supplies I convince myself I NEED more often!

And speaking of challenge, here's another card I entered for a Paper Crafts challenge which was based on a sketch that I kinda followed....well I missed some of that sketch off but I still like the card *grin*!
I die cut a load of flowers from tissue paper that you get your precious PTI stamps wrapped in and layered them to make these pretty blooms.
I'm thinking of giving this to a happy couple who are about to get married very soon - it kinda makes me think of a wedding with all that white!

Both of these are really FABULOUS Aimes!!! And how fun that you got to meet up with some PTI folks, I hope I can do the same someday :)
Wow Aimes - these are both sublime. I am in love with that kraft number and the shards of black DP - is inspired.
Glad you enjoyed your crafty get together :D
I love your first card a LOT!! The polka dots, the curved sentiment, the pop of color behind the butterfly, just to mention a few!!!
Holy Cow do I love that long card!!! so different from everything else I am seeing these days!! And the white on white....stunning!!
I'm head over heals with that long kraft card, Aimes! From the unusual format to that punched out butterfly, it's simply stunning :)
