City Crafter Challenge

Good Morning everyone ... are you well? ... I hope so ...
It's Tuesday again and time for another new challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog Thank you to everyone who celebrated our First Birthday last week ... we really appreciate your support and the winners will all be announced soon ...
This weeks' challenge is brought to us by Linda ... My Happy Place ... who has just become a Grandma to the beautiful baby Miles ... Congratulations Linda! Please pop over to her blog to see pictures of Miles and leave her some love ...
Linda's challenge for us this week is to create a Gate Fold card ... It's been ages since I did one of these and if you are a little unsure about doing them ... there are some wonderful tutorials on the web ...
I chose to use some digital papers from Websters Pages (Lullaby Lane) 



and the beautiful butterfly sitting on the rosette is a sticker from the Lullaby Lane sticker collection available at Pixie Dust Paperie ... 


the only other things I added was some lace a couple of rhinestones and some stitching



A peek inside shows the same papers ... just ready for you to write or stamp your own sentiment


I apologise that some of the pictures are a little dark or shaded ... whilst I love the sunshine ... it can make it difficult to get some decent shots ... 
So now it's over to you ... I am so looking forward to seeing what you talented people can come up with ... every week you turn out amazing creations for the team to admire and drool over ... can't wait to see this weeks' entries ...
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments

Till soon keep safe

~ Ros ~

Butterflies, rosettes and rhinestones- a perfect combination! I think I may need to learn some new superlatives for your cards- I'm getting a bit samey! Simply beautiful! xx
