Catching Butterflies Colour Challenge
Welcome to my blog, today I’m blog hopping with Crafty Collaborations and my project is called Catching Butterflies Colour Challenge.
We are using the colours, Highland Heather, Flirty Flaming and Coastal Cabana.
I decided to showcase a few Sale-a-Bration items in this challenge. The Stamp Set Im using is called Catching Butterflies. A cute set which is free with a £45 order.
I have also used these fabulous Designer Series Paper called Simply Marbleous, there are 48 sheets of double sided paper. This is also free with a qualifying order.
I have made 2 lovely fun cards and a gift tag for this project. I do hope you have a go at making them.
