OHmystars! Hannelie, these are absolutely gorgeous! I'm curious as to how you did the butterfly on the second one: stenciled or transparency or ??? I'd love to case these at some point, if that's okay with you.
Thank you ever so much for joining us at Inkspirational; the card + envelope pairing is amazing!

Three beautiful cards Hannelie and I love the floral stamps and butterfly stamps you have used as well as the pretty stencilling in such lovely bright colours for the backgrounds. x

Oh my goodness, Hannelie, these are absolutely STUNNING!! The oxides you've chosen match the challenge colours perfectly and they have worked beautifully with your stencil. It's completely impossible to choose a favourite! Thank you so much for sharing with us at CC&S :)

Oh my word Hannelie - just when I think you can't produce anything better, you do this!! What an absolutely fabulous set of cards - it is impossible to choose a favourite! The patterns combined with line images are so effective, with each card bringing something different to the fore. AMAZING! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS Colours & Sketches!

You have shown that there is more than one way to use a stencil, Hannelie, and all the designs are fantastic. I especially love the way the design carries over into the butterfly.

Fantastic Job - Gorgeous! I adore how you created 3 very different designs with the "Same" background and colors. Well done. Is the butterfly on acetate or was it cut from another sheet of paper with the same background. Love it! Thanks for joining us for this challenge at CC&S

These are all wonderful, such stylish and clean designs and such great examples of your signature style. I think the second card with the butterfly in the middle might be my favorite! Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational!

OH! So beautiful, I love the stencilling and the designs, how wonderful to repeat on the butterfly too. You really do think outside the box.
