A Butterfly

The challenge at Less Is More this week is butterflies. I'm not good with this style of cards, and find it so difficult, so only joined once so far, but anyway, when I saw this week's theme, I thought it was an opportunity to use my Pergamano Butterfly stamp set again, so I decided to have a go. .. 

I hope you like it at least, as I'm still not sure if I do or not. For the background I used a gorgeous Hero Arts rubber stamp which I had won from Simon Says Stamps some time ago, the 'Just for you' sentiment was a magazine freebie stamp and the dotted circles are from my Inkadinkadoo Circles and Spots stamp set. Today I also added some glittered 3D paint on the butterfly. 


I am entering my card in these challenges today.
- Less Is More - BUTTERFLY/ BUTTERFLIES
- A Spoonful of Sugar 153- THINGS WITH WINGS
- Flutter By Wednesdays 156 - CLEAN AND SIMPLE
- PaperPlay 20 - SPARKLE
- Truly Scrumptious 57 - ANYTHING GOES


CANDY IS NOW CLOSED and winners have been picked here.


And now finally I got my Birthday Candy.. woot woot, I am really excited about it, I hope you like it  :)   I just asked our messenger to take me to Valletta today as I was sure I wasn't going to be able to go after work ...... woops!!! 
 
There is a lovely clear stamp set of butterflies from Pergamano, just like the one I used on my card today, handmade papers and those glass bubbles, don't know what they are called.... 

........ and I loved this one as well, thought I would have two winners again this time. The first one will win the above and the second will win this stamp set. Of course if the winners would like to change stamps I will try to do my best.

Hope you like it and join in. As always this candy is only for my current followers only, so you don't need to put on your side bar, but of course if you would like to that is ok. Of course new followers will be able to join in new candies...  I will leave the candy open for a month, so it will close on the 25th of June.


Just leave your name with Mr Linky...  thank you for joining in, and good luck xx

    Hello Dora, I love you butterfly and the colours you have used.
    Sorry I haven't been commenting for a while but I have been one of those affected by the current Blogger problems. I have moved from IE to Firefox which seems to have cured the problem for now.
    Hope you have a good week.
    luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox

    Your card as always is simply lovely. I have to love it my favorite color and favorite creature. I've had you in my favorites for ages. Not sure when I became a follower so just delete me if I didn't do it early enough. Althought the other set is lovely I am mad for butterflies and would love to win them. Thanks for the chance.
