Summer wreath


 Hello lovely crafters.

I hope everyone is well. We're at a change in the season here. So hot a few weeks ago and now actually chilly on occasion!

Here is a recent fun card I made. I don't need much encouragement to get out my Card-io stamps and I saw some inspiring cards on the card-io Facebook group so off I went. 



As usual I pencilled in the circle and used that for the rough shape. I stamped the flowers first and then the leaves and greenery. 
The colours were so soft that I thought Thinking of You was best. At first I wasn't so keen on the darkness of the butterfly but I've got over that and think it's ok. 


You can see I added some Pearl Effects to the centres. Not too blobby 😁

I'm sending this one over to Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge



As usual no fancy folds here. I just used Wisteria and Wild Blue Yonder colours, and the butterfly, of course. 

I'm off to a craft fair next week where I'm sure I will buy more. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

  1. Such a pretty floral wreath, just goes to show that they aren't just for Christmas. I used to enjoy watching Wendy's demos when I was able to go to the shows.

  3. Such a pretty card Alison..I need to get out my much neglected cardio stamps. I don't think your butterfly is too dark ad your second photo shows th delicate colours and the pearls beautifully.
