Things with wings

Hi..well I'm late today with my DT card for CRAFTY CATZ, i usually have my post done and scheduled but last night was just to busy to get i sorted, so better late than never...
The challenge is "THINGS WITH WINGS" yet another easy one for you all, Our sponsor is the Stamping Boutique, and they gave us some fab images to use.
Now this card caused me lots of problems, if one thing goes wrong there's always more, Firstly my ribbon caused a problem, so had to add  more butterflies on than i wanted too, then my pearl doodles got smudged, so i had to add my corners and then re apply my doodles.but i got there in the end,
Thanks for stopping by, your visits are so much appreciated.
i will add this card to these other challenges,
I love promarkers.......Purple & pink
Simon says stamp.......anything goes

DT card for CRAFT

Good Morning peeps, are you all getting back into the normal run of the mill LIFE duties, i feel as if it has been ages since Santa was around. and with the weather been mild these last few days it's hard to believe its winter, don't you think ?
It's Thursday if you did not already know it....but that means its time for a new challenge to start at CRAFT and this week it is "CELEBRATION" I have chosen to do a wedding card, the image is from one of our sponsors which is Eiglas
 
our second sponsor is Crimson Cloud
Crimson Cloud
and our third sponsor is 
so lots of prizes again up for the taking.
I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday
I thought it would be nice to do all white but i gave in a little and added a little grey after i decided it needed a backing paper...so i ended up with a monochromatic  card, struggling a little this week with my mojo think Santa took it with him, 
why not pop on over and see what fab designs the other DT came up with.
Have a lovely day,
Thanks for popping by
I am adding this card too these other challenges
