Good Morning Ladies,

Well ladies, I don't know what to say, I have been absolutely astonished at how many butterfly cards you lovely ladies sent in to me, so many in fact that I have kept some to show another time, (I hope you don't mind) x  

Anne's card I have uploaded from an old challenge, I hope you don't mind Anne, I know how busy you are with little Tollie and your family visiting, I know that Anne created this card by using the Gelli plate, I would love to know what your thoughts are on the Gelli plate Anne, thank you for your card xxx

Brenda, I have uploaded your card from an old challenge too, it's such a pretty card that its worth a second look, a gorgeous sparkly card Brenda, thank you xxx

Maria, I love your stamped card, it looks like a Inkyliscious stamp (but I'm not sure that it is), I love that sentiment too, ''the best things in life are Wild and Free'', your graduated colour background is gorgeous Maria and works really well with the stamp you have used, thank you so much for taking part xxx

Janet, such a beautiful butterfly card from you too, a true 'kaleidoscope', I love how you have decoupaged some of the butterflies for dimension! A stunning butterfly card Janet, thank you xxx

Karen, 3 cards from you for this challenge, although I have only shown two, (i hope you don't mind, I wanted to keep one for a day of its own).  The 1st card has been made using Spellbinders Les Papillions Dies, positive and negative die cuts, the pretty background paper was created on Serif, the 2nd card is pure genius, Karen's 'Kaleidoscope' of butterflies in graduating shades of pretty pink was created using Paint Charts from DIY stores, what an amazing idea, perfect shades already worked out for you, I wouldn't suggest going in and 'cleaning them out' of samples, but I'm sure they wouldn't notice one or two different colours being put to good use, I am thinking about how fab a good selection of greens would be for foliage die cuts!!  Shame Paul's at work tomorrow otherwise we would be paying B & Q a visit! hahaha, thank you so much Karen for taking part in the challenge xxx

Lilian, I used an old challenge card of yours too, I love the watercolour wash effect in the background of your card, it's so subtle and pretty, the pretty butterflies are such a pretty finishing touch Lilian,

thank you for creating this pretty card Lilian xxx

Lynda, oh what beautiful cards from you for this challenge, I know how much you love butterflies and that really shows, your first card is so pretty, you have used a gorgeous butterfly paper and Creative Expressions Butterfly striplet die for added interest, the 2nd card has been created with the Spellbinders Butterfly (les Papillions) die too, with a larger Spellbinder butterfly die cut for the focal point, a lovely verse finishes the card perfectly, thank you so much Lynda for your gorgeous cards xxx

Margaret's card is so very pretty,  I love that pretty backing paper you have used, the perfect subtle backdrop for your 'Kaleidoscope' of graduating sized butterflies leading up to that beautiful butterfly resting on the flower, what makes this card extra special is the fact that Alan had an input into this card too, isn't it lovely when our partners show an interest too! Thank you so much Margaret and Alan for a fabulous card xxx

Michele, oh such a pretty card from you, I love the delicate colour of your card and the Pictor Die by Creative Expressions has made the perfect frame for your butterfly embellished sentiment, a gorgeous card Michele, thank you so much xxx

Phoebe (Sue's Granddaughter) has entered her first challenge card, made entirely by herself using Spellbinders layered Butterflies die set, Phoebe you have made such a beautiful card, such pretty coloured butterflies, decorated with pretty glitter glue, you are such a fantastic card maker Phoebe and I look forward to seeing many more of your cards, thank you for sharing your card xxx

Sonia, I absolutely love your card, that Moroccan looking background is so lovely and the perfect base for your gorgeous butterfly, which looks like it could be a Marianne Butterfly 3 die, so delicate and pretty in pink, thank you so much for creating another gorgeous card for us Sonia xxx

Sue, well what can I say Sue, you sent me about 8 different butterfly cards, each one is so beautiful, I have shared a couple of them and saved the rest for another day, your first card has been made using Creative Expressions Delicate Garden Frame die, with a pretty butterfly in the corner, I love the contrast of the blue and white, it really works, your second beautiful card has been made using a scalloped circle, decorated all the way around with beautiful butterflies in graduating shades, such a gorgeous card Sue, thank you so much for sharing so many pretty cards xxx

Val, a pretty kaleidoscope of butterflies in flight across your card, in such delicate shades, I know that you have used Cosmic Shimmer Colour Clouds to colour your butterflies and create your pretty background, the delicate little sequins add just enough sparkle to lift the card, thank you so much for creating this beautiful card for us Val xxx

Well ladies, my fingers are about to drop off, all that remains for me to say is a HUGE THANK YOU, for being so HUGELY supportive when it comes to my challenges, it means a lot, you are all amazing xxxx

Love and Hugs

Sandra
