Butterfly birthday

 Hello lovely crafters

I spent yesterday morning dividing dahlia tubers and then treated myself to some crafty time in the afternoon. 

I started this card with some stencilling. The colour shows what happens if you try pink and blue stencilling and then revert to pink without washing your stencil. A sort of mauve colour. 😂

Then I delved in my stash and found these leaves already coloured (with a brayer in a gel plate session I think) and a flower and butterfly stamped but not coloured. 

I've used pencils blended with baby oil for both. 

I finally added a few water drop embellishments. 

My thoughts on those, having ordered them and waited ages from them to arrive is that I love them but probably shouldn't be adding little bits of plastic to my cards. I will use them as I have them but won't be using glitter any more and will have to consider what else I use. 

I'm entering this into the current Butterfly challenge. 

 I've used pale blue and pale pink pencil crayons though in places they have blended together. Does that count or will I be sent out of the butterfly garden?

And a butterfly of course. I didn't have time for fancy folds this time, unfortunately. 

I'll also hop over to Pixie's Snippets Playground. The sentiment was stamped on a scrap, I think the pink backing was also a snippet and all the flowers and leaves were in a heap of 'stuff' to use up. 

There are so many good ideas there I must have a longer look and a blog hop. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
