Did you know it was National Dandelion Day on April 5th? Nor did I! No idea which 'nation' it is, but Day of the Month Card Club - a new challenge, focusing on those weird and wonderful celebration days of the month, have chosen this as their April challenge. I quite like the idea of celebrating dandelions, don't you? Although they're often seen as the enemy of lots of gardeners, I've never been one of them. I love them, and still enjoy the pleasure of blowing them as far as I can 😊
This piece of acrylic paint background card has been sitting in my background basket for some time...I just love the subtle colours, so decided to use it for this challenge. One of my friends sent me a set of Inkadinkado 'winged creature' stamps, so I used part of the butterfly trail with a couple of simple dandelion stamps. A friend surprised me with these three word stamps on my birthday, so I thought they deserved to be inked, too.
I'm going to link to the Allsorts Challenge again - Blossoms, butterflies and bugs - not quite blossoms, but definitely butterflies.
I'm also linking to Addicted to Stamps and More's Anything Goes challenge and
SSS Wednesday's No Patterned Paper Challenge.
Thank you so much for calling in...
I'll be back tomorrow with another challenge from Try it on Tuesday...

Me neither Cath and yesterday was some random 'day' as well according to hubby, so significant I can't even remember what he said it was. Love the hues of pinky lilacs and the kaleidoscope of Butterflies floating across the card.

This is such a fun card Cath. Dandelions may not be romantic and they are often called weeds, but there is nothing prettier to see (in art at least) than a dandelion going to seed. And butterflies don't hurt either. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika
Dandelions and butterflies fly together across the meadow.
Beautifully designed card, I like the background very much.
Thank you for showing this card in our new challenge at DotMCC.

Thanks for your wonderful introduction to our little challenge! Don't you love it when you have the perfect background in your stash?! I am just trying to figure out how you got the butterflies white....Did you stamp them on white paper? Anyhow your card is delightful! Thanks so much for playing along with us at DOTMCC.
Eine wunderschöne Karte. Toller Hintergrund und die ganzen Schmetterlinge.
Liebe Grüße
