Butterflies and Flowers

All of these cards contain images of flowers, or butterflies or both! I've been loving my butterflies at the minute - I think I'm trying to call the summer back before winter sets in, although it looks like it's already here! We have a snow warning for this week - argh!

My first one is for a huge amount of challenges: Mojo #165 for the sketch, Just Us Girls #60 to use dark red, black, white and gold, A Passion For Papertrey's Scrapalicious Challenge (my white cardstock pieces were small scraps, the Victorian Lace die was left over from VSN last weekend, when I didn't use it on a card and the yellow DSP was another bit I cut to use and then changed my mind last weekend!), Papertrey Posse's November challenge to make a thank you card using fall colours (I think dark red and gold count as fall colours, don't you?!) and finally for Free For All #39 to make a thank you card. Phew!

My next card is for Color Throwdown #199 to use Pear Pizzazz, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso. I used old Mojo #79 for the sketch. (Nearly caught up on all the old Mojo sketches now - where will I go for sketches next?!)

My next one is for Paper Pal Arts #69 to make a CAS card with ribbon - does mine qualify for CAS do you think? I hope so as I can't do CAS at all, but this one is fairly simple in my opinion! I used SC306 for the sketch, CC296 to use Poppy Parade, Tempting Turquoise and White and it's also for Free For All #37 to use an image with a tail!
