Spring Green Butterflies

Good evening

What an exhausting day, my son had one of his university interviews today in Cardiff.  From my house it is a 4-5 hour drive, so I have spent about 9 hours on the road for a 1 hour interview.  I haven't driven for 2 years so to say I'm tried is an understatement.

Anyway, I started this card last night but didn't get chance to finish it until getting home tonight.  I have gone for greens shades and a clean and simple style.  The stamp is called Butterfly Border from Honey Doo Crafts and I have coloured it using ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Green card stock

Patterned Digital Paper

Memento Tuxedo Black in pad

Good evening

That has felt like a long day.  I went to see Fifty Shades of Gray last night with some friends, not sure about it really, the ending felt that it was cut short.  Anyway, I didn't get in until 11.15 last night and then had to be up at 4 this morning to go to work.  I thing it will be an early night for me.

This sympathy card is an order from a colleague at work for her friend, who's husband has passed away.  I have gone for a clean and simple style in white and browns.

Materials used are:

White card stock

Tan Centura Pearl card stock
