Catching butterflies

Wow Apologies for my tardiness! Don't know where today has gone!

Hooray today is another Basic Grey challenge  and this week we want you to Punch it!! No not your hubby although you may like to do that as well!! Lol!! Oh crumbs not that I am condoning violence, well maybe  just a wee punch!! And Please!!! don't forget to use something from Basic Grey!

I am seriously Lovin' this card!! really pleased with the way it turned out! mind you I think it is almost impossible to ruin these fab images from Krista Smith! this one is called Catching butterflies and can be found here! The gorgeous Dp's are of course Basic Grey, and my new fav I think, called Konnichiwa! I have punched the corners and  double layered the butterflies so their wings can be pulled up for a 3D effect! the gems are Bazzil and the blue flower petaloo and the pretty beaded flower is K&Co. the colouring is of course my old trusty copics!

Deep ocean - things with wings
