Well time has flown, been quiet online but not at home busy visitors, commitments, etc going on!.. and trying to slip in for the Butterfly challenge #51 Butterflies + M is for Margins and/or Mint.
Mm, think this time might have done both in one hit! YAY!
Mind you, I finished this card the day after the challenge came out (taken nearly two weeks to post it!).
This card was started on this desk here

Here I was thinking would have plain background but Mrs A.'s very brainy combo made me change it! Mint margins - looks heaps better.
This card is made with Darkroom Door Collage Butterfly Post stamp, inked in black Ranger Perfect Medium, then added Perfect Pearls/ Cosmic Shimmers in mint green, chocolate, and teal blue. Sheen is sadly lost in photo. Used Wink of Stella to highlight butterflies. The folder on base was extended by one notch (see how to extend die here), with SB A2 Polka Dots largest die.
Coloured the mint with three sprays - Deep green Cosmic shimmer spray (dont like them they always, always, always clog - no matter what you do, tried all the tips), soft blue and diamond dust glimmer mist. Combo worked a treat.

To close with your Aussie shot of the day.. taken when dad and I went for our "Sunday icecream and look at the beach" drive.
Our skies are so lovely in autumn.. the sky late this afternoon when went for walk was truly breathtaking, and the water so incredibly clear, clean and blue - so very blessed of God to live where I live.
Thanks
so much everyone for popping over for a peek and please stay and chat..
May the LORD God bless your day, wherever you may be!

I enjoyed seeing your butterflies taking flight on this card Shaz. Your creativity never fails to amaze me. Thank you for your Aussie shot. We're just beginning to enjoy spring up here in the northwest US. I so enjoy your ocean views.

Your border for the butterfly fly stamp is incredible. I really love your choice and how well it goes with the stamp. Colours are amazing. I love this card. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge. Your card will be entered twice into the draw. Hugs Mrs A.
This is a beautiful card Sharon! I love that stamp and all the cards you have made with it. That view...oh that view! You do live in a very beautiful area my friend. Would love to walk along that beach and see that sky line! So many beautiful places on this earth that God has given us. I just can't imagine how Heaven can be even more beautiful, but they say it is. The colors we have, oh my the colors, but I've heard that we haven't even begun to see all the colors that Heaven has! God just blows me away. Hugs, Brenda
Lovely card Shaz, the butterflies are very pretty. (Love the PG monkeys on your desk ;) )
