A new week and hopefully one with lots of creativity!
I will start stamping again soon...please bear with me while I explore all the possibilities of my silhouette! {lol}
My sentiment is a birthday wish in Afrikaans...
I made the cutting file for my butterflies with the help of an image from a coloring book.
The open spaces colored with promarkers to create the ombre effect.
Speaking of 'ombre'...
Not long ago I didn't know the meaning of the word... but strange it keeps popping up, and last week I saw LOTS of it while shopping... yes the shops are unpacking the Spring fashions!! Lots of ombre, lots of color blocking, lots of chevrons and lots of botanical designs!
I do believe that it was fashion first and then the papercraft world followed in their footsteps...
So... my eyes are now wide open watching trends!

Fabulous card !
i love how you made your cutting file & the colour in the spaces ,love the pearls too x
The butterflies look like they could just flutter right off your card. So pretty. And hey!, enjoy playing with your new Cameo. I'm enjoying what you're making. This is such a pretty card too. Bev

Jong, jy's darem 'n gelukkige vrou om 'n silhoette te he!! (ek sou ook heeldag wou sit en speel!!) Jou skoenlappers is pragtig en ek is mal oor die bewoordig wat so emboss is (en so lekker afrikaans!!). Jy het so 'n pragtige 'skoon' styl - CAS op sy beste! Goed gaan.
Groete
Simply gorgeous ... can you stamp and cut too, I'm loving it! Anita :)

Stunning!!!!! So gald you joined us at CAS on Sunday! Your card is fabulous!!!
Perfect! Love everything about this!
I just read your post and I agree it's very fascinating how trends seem to follow from fashion through to everything including cards. My 15 yo daughter tells me that ombre is all about hair fashion. You make me wish I had a silhouette!
Absolutely beautiful. The pearls look amazing with those shades of purple. The embossed sentiment is so elegant!
Who needs stamps when this is what you can create with your Silhouette!
WOW

Gorgeous card!
Well we're going to have to bear with you for awhile then ... SO much you can do with the Silhouette! My favorite is building images from scratch. The drawing features make you feel like an artist : ) The angle you have your butterflies on is so dynamic, great idea, Hannelie!
Simply stunning - love everything about it - thanks for playing along this week at MMM - Jacqueline xx
