Butterfly Wishes

Hello ... I hope you are having a good start to the weekend ... 
We have sunshine today ... it's a crisps autumn day 

A couple of my friends have been suffering with one thing or another ... so I made a card and gift for each of them to help cheer them up a little or at least let them know I am thinking of them ... One of them I can't show you yet ... It will be one of my DT projects in the upcoming weeks ... but this one I can ...

Butterfly Wishes


This is the card made with the lovely freebies again from Astrid ... that lady is so kind and talented
And can you see that little necklace? I have been wanting to make some of these for the longest time ... I used the same paper and as the butterflies are digital I was able to make a tiny one ... even if the cutting out was fiddly! I'm still trying to master how much glossy accent to use not to get bubbles between the glass but as this is only an inch in size you don't see them with the naked eye



I made a little something to put that necklace in ... A matching little bag using some of the aida fabric I used on the card


The ribbon unties to open the bag


I get so much out of making gifts for people ... I'll show you a couple more soon

I'm linking these up to the following challenges 

Have a beautiful weekend ... Thanks so much for stopping by

Till soon
