This is for the colour challenge this week to use Barely Banana, Ballet Blue, Old Olive and neutrals of choice. I thought these colours were so light and fresh together, they seemed really appropriate for the SU Merci set that my amazingly generous Big Sister sent me (in Divine Secret Siblings).
I also used my new border punch - I feel that as a Punchkateer I have a responsibility to rack up my punch stash. That's my excuse anyhow, and it's a jolly good one.
Punchez tally: 2 plus 6 nesties shapes. Poundage lost is equivalent to a good old British plate of fish and chips.

Just love your new border punch, Britzi!! Great use of the challenge colors--they really *are* so fresh looking! I love how you built up the butterfly bodies with pretty pearls and added bling to antennae and flower centers. Super work, Punchkateer!!

So pretty are those butterflies and pearl centers. Does this mean you are going for fish and chips? Hey, you don't get to eat everytime you punch and lose a few. Love your pretty, cheerful card.

Britzi, you're going to be brokezi like the rest of us with all those punchez!! Hope Brian forgives me for getting you into this mess!!! This is such a pretty card Sally. I LOVE that color combo, your butterflies, that fab border punch and pearls. Hey, are you trying to copy Fruitflakezi here with the "French" greeting? I've been doing a lot of French things with my cards lately and have no idea why! I love your card and it makes it so much easier to have the pnz label to find everyone's cards quickly and comment!! Take care Britizi!!

Oh, BTW, what I'd give for some good fish and chips right now. I'll have to e-mail you a couple of photos of me with my Mom and sister when we went to London 3 years ago. I may have one of us eating fish and chips!! Hugzi!
