A big thank you to everyone who popped over to visit my little sister at Crafting with Mabel for her first ever blog post. I know she truly appreciated it as did I.
Spring is in the air !!!! well it appears once or twice a week here in Greece and then reverts back to winter, having said that I have been inspired by so many spring cards I’m seeing that I decided to enter a few challenges.
The embossing folder is by Altenew which I coloured with distress oxides very carefully as I only wanted the raised portion of the leaves to have colour. These gorgeous little butterflies by Pinkfresh studios are part of a set including hot foil plate,stencils and dies which I have used here and I love the effect. The sentiment is by Yana Smakloula also using a hot foil plate and co-ordinating die cut banner and to finish some little gold blobs (technical term) by Pinkfresh studios.
I would like to enter the following challenges.
Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies
Can You Handle The Pressure. Anything Goes With Embossing Folders With A twist Of Green
The butterflies die cuts,stencils and hot foil plate are having their first outing
Take care

Thank you so much Kathy
It’s beautiful, but then Green is my favourite colour. So happy to be back in touch going to have a good old catch up now 🙂
Zoe !!!!!! Hello thank you so much for stopping by and for your lovely comment
OH! This is just so VERY gorgeous Marie, beauitful embossing and those butterflies are to die for, well maybe not exactly, but you know what I mean? I also love how you have done the banner, so beautiful.

Thank you so much Faith I do hope all of your puter problems are behind you
Goodness me, between you and Bonnie Klass I think I’ve been persuaded to get that gorgeous leafy EF! Love your greens and blues and the touches of gold foiling. I’ve always wondered what the technical term for those metal pearls is Marie and of course it is ‘gold blobs’!! Vicky x
Thank you so much Vicky always a pleasure to hear from you
Another beautiful design Marie, I am totally loving that cool layering you did on the sentiment too!
This warms my tree/leaf butterfly-loving heart, Marie! It checks all the boxes! Thank you for introducing us to your sweet talented sister! And thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Absolutely gorgeous Marie… Thanks so much for your kind wishes, hopefully surgery isn’t too far away
I hope so too Ros,take care
Oh get into blogging she said, enter some challenges and I’ll come and blow your creations out if the water! Seriously this might be my favourite of all the cards you’ve made. You know how much I love green! I’d best be receiving this one! The colours are amazing, the butterflies beautiful but most of all the way you put everything together looks effortless.
Thank you for being my inspiration❤️
You are far too kind but thank you for your lovely words (for a change) I will save if for you but no actually you have all of the same dies and eF so you can make a better one for yourself.
Oh Marie this is absolutely GORGEOUS! Your careful coloring is beautiful and I simply love your overall design! Believe it or not, the weather is doing the exact same thing here in Ohio, USA!! I am SO ready for winter to be gone and Spring to be here! Thanks so much for playing in our challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure … we appreciate your support and hope to see you again next challenge! Good Luck!

Thank you so much for your kind comments. The starlings haven’t arrived yet until then …….winter lol
That is such a great way to use your new folder, and the butterflies are beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us at Can You Handle the Pressure!
Thank you so much.
So pretty. The green colour is so refreshing. You’ve coloured the leaves so beautifully.
I love the fresh greens and the dimension with the embossing folder. Such a clean, beautiful and striking card with the prettiest of butterflies and love the ‘blob’…lol x.
