Tea for Two ... and some butterflies!!

 A couple of quick(ish!) and simple cards from me today ...

 I stamped the teacups and teapot from Visible Image Tea for 2 onto white cardstock and then onto the gingham paper.  Having cut the images out of the gingham I glued them over the ones on the cardstock.  Very simples!  I added the sentiment from the same stamp set, and then put it onto gingham paper and added gingham ribbon - gingham heaven!!!
Supplies
Colouring medium: 
 Papers: Pink Petticoat Gingham
 Embellishments: ribbon
Tools: 

Challenges:
 Anything goes - seeing double (2 teacups)
Tuesday throwdown - paper peicing
Fab n Funky - add a sentiment



 I wanted some simple butterflies for a project I am making, and actually thought ahead for once and cut them out so I could use the cardstock in the negative.  I simply stamped the stripes and spots inside to create this simple card.
Supplies: 
Colouring medium: 
 Papers: 
 Embellishments: 

Challenges:
Less is more - OLC spots and stripes
Just us girls- negative die
Crazy4 - being negative
Papertake Weekly - 3,2,1 (3 butterflies, 2 patterns, 1 ink colour)
