Allsorts - Butterflies 🦋

It is my turn to host the challenge at Allsorts and since we have now entered the month of May I figured it would be suitable to have a Butterfly 🦋 theme. I made a gift bag, using butterfly dies from ebay (the hearts are actually cutouts from the butterfly wings), some lace and flowers. To close the bag I used a mini clothes pin, covered with the same design paper as on the bag.

Allsorts - anything in the animal kingdom 🐭🐰🐧🐬

This week Tracy wants us to be inspired by 🐭🐰 anything in the animal kingdom 🐧🐬at Allsorts.
So this adorable little elephant from My Favourite Things came in handy again. Coloured with distress ink Pumice Stone and a little Tattered Rose for the ears. Very clean and simple to make the little cutie pop.

🍭Allsorts - anything with wings 🧚‍♀️🦋

This week at Allsorts the theme is Anything with wings 🧚‍♀️🦋.

I made a gift bag of kraft paper, and used distress ink Vintage photo on design paper and tags to get that old feel to everything. Cut out some butterflies and made foamiran flowers as decoration.
Both the die cut edge on the design paper and the butterfly die is from E-bay so probably a fashionable Chinese brand :) The leaves and tags are Magnolia dies though.


We have a lovely Lavinia stamp for a lucky winner this week. I often wish I could enter our competitions, this is such a week :)
