Time for another card for the Sketch and Stash challenge. The new elements are the Elusive Images butterfly stamps - both the small one and the large one - never inked before. The large one I have coloured with Inktense pencils and gone over the top with a clear Stardust pen - this only shows with the sun shining on it, but then I get shadows all over the rest of the card and it's a bit glary so gave up trying to catch that. The small butterfly I stamped straight onto the bp and coloured with Stardust pens then added some trailing dots with a fine permanant marker pen. The bp's are Crafter's Companion downloads and the swirls in the corners (straight pieces on the sketch) were done on the Cuttlebug. Border across the centre is cream Conquerer paper punched with a MS doily punch, and a strip of the matching bp. A couple of butterfly peel offs in the corners coz it looked a bit bare.
Thanks very much for visiting today. Hope you are all having a great weekend. The sunshine here today is glorious.

Hi Beryl!
Just catching up with all my favourite blogs sweetie!
You've been so busy and made so many gorgeous cards lately, I especially love what you've done with these lovely butterflies.
Hi Beryl,
This is a lovely spring card and I really like your coloring skills. Since I am not familiar with all the abbreviations for equipment for card making in your country, so what exactly is "bp"? We use "dp" for designer paper and I think that is what you mean. I like the look of the corners and am not sure how you did that. Need to go back and reread it and figure it out. Great card as usual. Hugs, Martha

Your card is just beautiful, I love the colours on your butterfly and all the details work perfectly.

I thought I'd commented on this the other day Beryl, but it must have been one of my 'smash and grab' days when I only get time to read and promise myself to come back and comment later! I love your interpretation of the sketch and the whole card is just gorgeous.
