Boy! This week's Lessismore challenge should be 'easy peasy' to quote Chrissie and Mandi, but I've really struggled with this one.
I didn't like my first card so went back to the drawing board and came up with these two:
Sorry to bore you but this one is done my Silhouette again. I cut the butterflies out of the base card and then crimped some card to place behind. I then cut out another butterly in green and crimped that too. The sentiment is from HoTP. Finally I mounted it onto a 6 x 6 base.
This next one I'm not too keen on:
The butterflies are from the Clare Curd collection and I've decoupaged the large one and added gems to both of them and made some antennae with some wire.
I crimped some kraft card and wrapped some rafia around (a bit rustic I thought). The sentiment is HOTP and the whole lot has been mounted onto 6 x 6 card.
Ok! I think I'm gonna give up on this one now.
I'm off on my hols on Friday (volcanic ash permitting) so will unfortunately miss the LIM challenge (the first one I've missed), so have a good week everyone and see you in just over a week.
Thanks Mandi for your comment that the second butterfly wasn't needed. You were right, I think it looks much better now!
Here it is:

Aww Sue you are to hard on yourself!
These are FAB, that's an effective design on the first.
the second is equally s fab, although I think it only needed the top butterfly. BUT, that's nto a criticism, just saying...well nit picking I guess....sorry
they are a FAB colour,
Fabulous work
Thank you, have a brilliant holiday if we don't speak again

Oh Sue you are your own worse critic. Both cards are absolutely fabulous. Your first one is awesome and in my opinion one of the best entries this week.

Beautiful cards, love them both, love the raffia effect, yes very rustic, love the top card too, both really good cards.
Funny the middle card is the one I like best, hope you have a good holiday.
Beautiful card , Sue! I love the way you did the first card! It's really cool! Love the second card too...and I do like it better with just the one butterfly.
