Goodness - DH had (self-inflicted) problems at work when he flooded his motorbike engine, and the extra two hours it took him to give up trying to start it and settle for getting the train home gave me time to make a dedicated, non challenge-combining card for the TPT. Still not quite what I had in mind as I ended up with a dragonfly not a butterfly (but you take a close look at the lid of the teapot and tell me if it doesn't look like a dragonfly to you!). So - Dragomil is a turbo-charged A-rated flying instructor who will keep Turbo and Tucker so busy practising all the fancy flight manoeuvres that they will be too tired to get up to any mischief at all.
Base is 5 3/4" square, cream card with black lines doodled.
Matt layer is white card sponged with the Brilliance Blue.
Image panel is 5" square; stamped Vintage Vogue with pink, embossed with clear EP and sponged with the Aqua. For the dragonfly I inked up the stamp with two colours and stamped, then lightly drew around the edges. For the body I just sponged the Aqua straight onto the paper and drew the body. Antennae are blue wire, little Liquid Pearl eyes. I took two daisies in white card and sponged them - the second one is popped up on foam, as is Dragomil. I rather like the colour scheme, even though it's a mile from what I normally do.
I even have time to bring some sweet treats along this time .

Sabrina, silly girl! You are supposed to be getting ready for your vacation, cleaning house and the likes! I told you that putting something foreign in the gas tank of your hubbys motor bike would to the trick! Buy you a little more time to make a THIRD card! Giggle! Just don't tell him it was Turbo and Tucker that flew to his work and did the dirty deed.....I don't want Turbo and Tucker smooshed like bugs! Are you sure the aren't gonna get in any mischief?
This is an amazing card...The pretty blue is amazing against the soft colored flower! This is the world of make believe if we want our flutterbys looking like flagondrys, the so be it! I say this is beautiful no matter what it is! Yay!
