Penultimate week of this fantastic Summer of Colour event. Had a good play with this butterfly ATC. I embossed some card with a TH folder, inked with distress, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac. Added some ribbon scraps, some of my new baby button brads, a few flower gems and a bow of coloured string. I heat embossed some detail onto my Quickutz butterfly diecut and backed it all on co-ordinating card. Just love the vibrant colours of this week's ice cream flavour.About Me

- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.

Great job, I didn't really like week 5's colors until I saw this, now I feel happier about making my jar! Love it! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Hi BJ, those colours are just amazing, love the embossing and all your embellies too. Anne x
Fab atc BJ, love the colours. Wow, the embossing on your butterfly really makes it pop, brilliant.

I know why you always beat me. Your name is so much easier to write than mine (grin). I can see you are once again playing with an ATC and the lovely butterfly. I like everything about this piece from the dry embossing to the wet embossing to the ribbons and that incredibly teeny tiny bow! Gorgeous art.
This is very great art work. Love it very much. Beautiful details.
Lovely greet
