Hi all you wonderful peeps! thanks for all your comments about Ollie LOL. Well the weather has been absolutely lovely today I hope it stays that way. You can tell its Easter Monday all the lawn mowers come out and I could smell a barbeque or two as well. We've had a nice time down at the coast...first sign of water and he's off!! 'his lordship' that is not the hubster. Gorgeous fish and chips and then came back and I've done a bit more gardening..well I say that a bit loosely because all the neighbours were out so we spent time chatting more than gardening LOL cuppa's made and passed over it was really nice:) I made this card for the lovely Mrs A's butterfly challenge (if you want to join in the link is on the left of my blog:) I did have a giggle because I decided to make a butterfly charm out of shrink plastic, I haven't used it for ages but it was fun. I also used some snippets of paper so I'm off to see Di and all the critters in the playground..key to the right of my blog if you want to go over and visit. I will be back later to visit your fab blogs for some reason I commented on a few and then blogger started playing up..so will try again after tea..TFL and lots of hugglessssssssss Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Great card Sue, very dramatic too. Fish and chips by the sea - bliss!
Hugs, Di xx
What glorious colours Sue, beautiful dies too, love it, hugs Kate x
Beautiful papers on your card and it's gorgeous. My dog (now deceased) used to hate water. Wouldn't even get near a kiddie pool. Trembled over a bath. It was rather pitiful.
Oooh this is lovely - that paper is scrumptious and I lurve your butterfly in the middle! I would stroke that paper for hours though and still not be able to use it.
Lots of love from yer made mate Sue Pxxx
Lovely paper and coupled with the black it all looks very dramatic. Lovely little butterfly. Hugs Christine xx
This is a gorgeous card Sue, I love your beautiful papers and pretty die cut details.
It's nice when the sun shines and we see the neighbours in the garden again isn't it.

I am so drooling over this pretty poppy paper. It is gorgeous. Love the colours on your shrink plastic charm. Very inventive to make your own charm. Rained here all day yesterday but dry to day so have been out in the garden. Managed to get some seeds sown before the skies opened up again. Thank you for fluttering by #5. Hugs Mrs A. (butterfly challenge).
Hi Sue
Cooooo, this is terrific. Right up my street. That backing paper is gorgeous.
Fish and chips at the coast sounds scrummy.
Have a great evening.

Love your butterfly, Sue! It's so pretty with the scalloped circles!

What a lovely card Sue, and your shrink plastic butterfly brought back memories of a tortoiseshell butterfly hair slide I had as a child - I hadn't thought about that for 40 years!!!
I'm glad you had a good Easter and lets hope that the good weather lasts.
Hugs

Love this beautiful card Sue! I think it is fun to make embellishments out of shrinky dinks so I am so loving your butterfly! That paper you used is amazing and so pretty and I love your mats! Beautiful! Hugs
So lovely with your beautiful pearls, and that delicious background paper. That is a wonderful butterfly, and what a great card for the Butterfly Challenge. Glad you had a nice time away. The fish & chips sound delicious. TFS & Hugs
Your card looks great. I haven't used shrink plastic for ages myself. If only I could remember where I put it "really safe" when the nephews and I did our last tidy up of my crafting stash. Your butterfly has given me the urge to try and hunt it out one of these days.
What a lovely card Sue. Love the patterned paper - gorgeous colours - and the shrink plastic butterfly is terrific. I keep forgetting I have shrink plastic in my stash but you've inspired me to dig it out again :) Elizabeth xx
Lovely card Sue. Very pretty and great use of snippets. xxx
Such a lovely card! I love that patterned paper and that you brought it out for a second layer. Truly fabulous!
