Whew!! 

1 week of school is done and it kicked my butt... I am still feeling a little behind, but that's ok. I am enjoying being back, being busy, and creating music with my kids again! 

This summer was busy-busy. 

I think it's always going to be like that because 1) I have 2 months off every year, and 2) I don't have a "home" in Canada anymore. So in order to not over-stay my welcome while couch-surfing, I am always on the move.... 

This summer took us to 

Vancouver: 

Hello there! 

It’s high time I get back into some challenges, so today I looked up:

MFT’s Card Challenge 401 and it’s another great one that’s easily adaptable. 

Here’s my card:

The background is some simple oxide ink through a stencil (linked below), with some wonderful layered butterflies as the focal images. 

I don’t have the matching dies, so I fussy-cut them out myself. They were pretty easy! 💪🏼

I popped the butterflies up to make it look like they were floating. 

Such a simple, but striking card, no? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for stopping by! 💋

Supplies:

Stamps (MFT): beautiful butterflies, Anything But Basic Birthday Wishes

Stencil: TCW Onion Skin 

Inks: Ranger Oxide Inks

Welcome to fall!! 

Welcome back to school!! 

Welcome back to China (for me)!! 

And welcome back to my blog!! 

I've had a little hiatus for the past few months, partly intentional, partly I was travelling around Canada and the US for the summer and just plain didn't have time! I had a fantastic summer and I saved a LOT to my favourites on Instagram, and one of the things I'm LOVING right now is simple, beautiful, stencilled backgrounds with a well-coloured image and sentiment. So that's what I set out to make!
