Butterfly Wishes

We have a lovely challenge theme at
Double D Challenges
"Wishes are Possible"
Using our fabulous mood board below to help you along the way.



I used a Stamping Bella stamp and a different kind of card.
You will find the tutorial for this unusual card Here
Copic markers, DP, Stickles, acetate and dies used.
Designing the sentiment on my Silhouette Cameo
and 'double' cutting to make a back to it as well behind
the acetate.
 Flat and ready for posting.

Wonder what you will make for this challenge?
Looking forward to viewing your creations at

A few pic of my garden after being away and with the intense heat and
humidity and the watering by our lovely neighbour, my garden is a jungle..
this is my native Strelitzia, it must be at least 10 feet tall...
 The flower is white and huge.
My roses have gone crazy and.....
..part of the back yard is a picture with plants

Your yard is amazing, what beautiful flowers! If I took a photo of my yard it would be covered with that white stuff.....also known as SNOW!!!! So funny. Your creation is just wonderful. Over the top creative, and it looks very labor intensive. Gorgeous papers, and that sweet little fairy just makes me smile!
