Lots of little pics to share for this post. I finally used one of my mom's crocheted butterflies, and I HAVE to say, they are just gorgeous. I don't know how she does it, all I can crochet is a cable, this stuff is far too complicated.
This card is for an 11 year old girl who loves butterflies. Isn't that cool!

I coloured the
Elzybells image with my Lyra pencils, yeah I used my Lyra's for a change. I think they have been feeling very
neglected. Blended it with
Sansador and added a little grass here and there. I need to go through
Paula's grass tutorial in order to learn the technique properly. When I clicked on her link I got only a portion of the post :-(
The paper I used was a free download from
Summertime Designs. I can't believe it's free, there are some beautiful designs you can down load.

The image was cut out with my BRAND new
Nesties template. Slowly but surely I get them all. It's a bit expensive ordering everything from overseas, so I try to get new stuff once a month. Although, believe it or not, it is cheaper for me to order from Cut @ Home, than to order from my local supplier. I don't know why.

Here's a close up of the butterfly. I got the link for the pattern from
Bev's blog. If any of you can crochet!!! I had a bit of glitter to the butterfly, cut it's not too clear on the photo. It really brought her to life.

Now I'm out of this FREEZING study. My hands feel like they are going to fall off, they are so cold. I really must put a premanent heater in this room, or I won't be blogging much.
Have a great Sunday, and chat to you all soon.

Beautiful colouring Meahni!! Love the crocheted butterfly as well. I do crochet, but just "squares" - ha!! - nothing as complicated as this. It's nice to have a talented Mom. 8)

Love the glitter on the butterful hun, what a fab idea. Your card is fabulous - your colouring is brilliant and the colours and papers are delish! x
Hi Meahni, it's my first visit here (i followed Paula's link) and must come back...i love your colouring! I've just bought a pack of prismacolor pencils and am trying to learn how to use them!! The thing I'm having most trouble with is the "glow" or shadow....and have just ruined an image trying to create one! Anyway, your card is beautiful...thanks for sharing! bx
Hi there... Got your link from Paula's blog.
I just love her work and now I can come and see yours as well. I live in London Ontario Canada.
Take care and I look forward to visiting often.
Hi Meahni - I also arrived here via Paula's blog...so glad I did, you make some darling cards and do awesome coloring! I'll be back!
I love your blog, I found it through Paper Possibilities (whom I also love!). Your cards are beautiful.
Beautiful card Meahni. Love the crotchet butterfly, it goes perfectly with your card. Your colouring is fantastic and I think you've made a fab job with the grass. I had a look at Paula's tutorial which was really helpful. Thanks for pointing us in that direction! Hugs, Lainy xxx
