Birds And Butterflies And New DT Post

Hello, it's Monday again, it comes round so quickly. I hope you’re all OK and have had a lovely weekend.
This is a double post for House Mouse and Prickley Pear. 
And some news, I have been invited to design for the stamp company Prickley Pear, more information lower down.

So for the theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge, this time it was our lovely Kelly's  turn to choose the theme and she chose "Flowers & Flourishes" - Use some flowers and add flourishes too on your creation.
 I have used HMJR1035 Tweet Kisses, what a sweet stamp and the papers are new ones from LOTV Raspberry Road's Shabby Shack. 
Of course you must use a House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie to join in.

And now for my Design piece for Prickley Pear, there's lots more to see over on the Prickley Pear blog and lots of gorgeous stamps and dies over on their shop here:-http://www.prickleypear.com/

So for my creation I used:- matching butterfly stamps and die, so I stamped a flurry of butterflies then coloured with grey promarkers to give a monochromatic look.  I then die cut some of the butterflies and coloured them, I decoupaged them over the top of some of the grey ones.  Added  stickles, then stamped out a sentiment oval to finish off.
I have used CLR023 Mini Butterflies clear stamp set, D023  Mini Butterfly Die Set, CLR013C Scalloped Circles & Ovals 4 Clear Set.
