Christening Twins

Hello everyone!
It is the 15th of the months, so we're starting a new challenge over at Creatalicious.
I am so sorry for posting this challenge late. I completely forgot to finish this post yesterday  -  it's been Father's Day here in Germany and I've spent a lovely day with my Dad...

As spring is turning into summer over here, we can see more and more buttflies fluttering around here and that's what I want to see on your cards this month  -  butterflies (at least one!I). You can use a butterfly image, butterfly die-cuts or even a butterfly charm, as long as it is a butterfly it counts...

I've also got 2 very generous sponsors for this new challenge, which are

Lacey from www.stampandcreate.com.
She is offering this fabulous gift cert. for the winner.

&

Prize  -  £10 gift cert. for the online store

Wild Orchid Crafts specialise in selling Mulberry Paper Flowers and many other embellishments for card making, scrapbooking and craft projects.  We started selling our mulberry paper roses back in 2005. Since then we've added a large selection of different flowers and colour choices.



All of our mulberry paper flowers are made using natural, renewable resources. The flowers are all handmade by experienced crafts people using high quality materials and great care is taken to ensure that they are made to the highest standard and beauty.  You can see all of our flowers and embellishments on our website http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com



Here is my inspiration card for you...
