Butterfly Time.

Hi there Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Hope you are all managing to keep warm during this cold snowy spell of weather.   We woke up to 8 inches of snow on Wednesday lol!   No more snow today but the temperature has not risen, so there is no thaw.   Ah well, we'll see what tomorrow brings lol!   Thought you might like to see a couple of photos I took, they are both views from our front door.


    
Well onto tonight's card.   I made this for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts    for their most recent  show on Create and Craft TV.   Hope you like this one.

   
This is the finished card.   Sorry for the reflection of light, the black card is a shiny black card and reflects the camera flash.      Make a base card from white card stock.   Take a smaller piece of red co-ordinations card and emboss it with the small clock face stencil.   Remove stencil and sand the clock face using a sanding block.   Fix this to the base card, leaving a small border of the white showing.

Take the black shiny card and lay the patterned stencil onto it and dab some Versamark through the design, using a piece of cut n' dry foam.   Remove the stencil and heat emboss with red/gold embossing powder.

Cut around the outer edge of the stencilled design and fix to the red card.

Take a piece of white card and stamp the cogs four times,  the butterflies four times and the small clock face once, using a black ink pad.   Cut out and glue a cog in each corner of the card. 



Colour the butterflies with mica powders and glue to the card front.   Glue the clock face to the centre of the embossed design.

Stamp the text 'Time Flies' onto white card, using a black ink pad.     Cut out and fix to the card front.

  
Well that's it finished, another quick and easy card to make.   Thank you all for popping by my blog and if you have left a comment, thank you again.   Your comments make me a very happy bunny lol!   and I read each and every one of them.   Take care of yourselves, stay safe and warm.   See you all again very soon.

                                                                   Love and rainbows,

                                                                Crafty hugs    Jennifer xx.
