These butterflies are taking over
First one is hand made paper backing and butterfly. Using the paper that I cut the little butterflies from to make that easter card I posted. After cutting these few I looked at it and thought, I would mat that piece up and use the negative space from those butterflies and I think it worked pretty well.
This one is so much more girly than my usual style. I had this patterned paper that I just had to try with the tried and tested three butterfly combo. I think the metallic gold works well with the floral patterns. and I used peeloff letters and made the greeting look like it was falling from the sky
This one is a sympathy card for a close friend of mine whose father has just died. It was so hard to come up with a suitable card for her. the closer the friends/Family the harder it is to create the card that is just right for these sensitive circumstances.
I am not sure how to finish this last one off. The pattern is a metallic giftwrap and the dragonfly is part of that. the only add on embellishments so far are the three tiny crystal flowers and the metallic purple butterfly. I left the top half free for a greeting of some kind but not sure what!
Any suggestions will be gratefully recieved.

Easter card for swap group
hi friends,
I organise a card swap on the cricut message board and this months theme was Easter of course.
To me Easter is the most important celebration of the year so I wanted to capture the true meaning, because of this everything on this card is symbolic in some way of the meaning of easter.
The colour scheme of Red and white is significant in that, because of Easter the bible says
"Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be washed whiter than snow" and encapsulates the reason for Easter. (Woohoo freeeeeeeeeee from guilt, it is soo good to have the assurance of forgiveness)
The central icon of the cross is three layered to make it stand out and signifies that God (3 in1) made that huge sacrifice on the cross for me.
The egg is probably the best known symbol of easter and signifies that out of something that appears so dead and cold comes new life.
The butterflies are most definitely my favourite symbol of new and transformed life and stand for the transformation that comes about in a persons life when they know Christ and His transforming power.
I wish you all a happy Easter and pray that you too will know the blessings that God can extend to us because of Christ's amazing sacrifice. WOW his love is amazing!
