Hope Butterfly

This weeks freebie at Delightful Inspiration is 'Hope Butterfly'.

I printed out a few of the images from the set that I rec'd

on Friday of last week.

Now that I am looking at the set, I used every one of them, even the 'hope'.

The border I printed twice, rotating it once!

The Flower I printed three times but only used two of them.

And the final creation with ribbon and the top wings cut with a craft knife.

 Thanks for coming by!
AND a big thanks to Faith for the Delightful HOPE BUTTERFLY set.

Here comes Faith and she does not disappoint with this week's freebie...Patches the ghost.
Today, if you did not get him for free you can purchase at Delighftful Inspiration's digi store.

I created a banner with my newest Spellbinders set and just hand wrote 'spooky' on there.

 Popped up the pumpkins and added some hand made swirly gigs to add some pizzazz.

Sprayed some glimmer mists on the swirlys and on the card for some shimmer.

Canada's Thanksgiving

Daisy Doodle Creative Challenge Blog

is challenging all crafters to make a card using fall colors or thanks or fall colors using thanks...you pick.

Have you seen the new, updated, gorgeous look at DDCCB?

Jules did a fab job of re-doing the Daisy's blog and it looks so fresh and vibrant.

This was a fun and quick card since the leaf was colored weeks ago 

in anticipation of this fall challenge.
I used the Japanese screw punch to make the two holes,  then thread the twine through and tie on the leaf.
I used two different kraft papers and a leaf border punch.
This card, not counting the coloring of the leaf, took about five minutes, not
exactly my usual card!!!
