Welcome
My apologies for not returning sooner - I have been chasing some of my other hobbies as well as making cards - some of which I cannot share yet.
I have also been falling down You Tube (crafting) 'rabbit holes', and have joined a few extra Facebook groups related to some of the crafts I do....
We also had a spate of visitors in the evenings, which meant no computer time, so I got way behind on visiting others as well, but here goes with sharing this fun butterfly.

I made this early in the year, and think I used Memento Dandelion and Lady Bug inks

I stenciled onto some 'mop up' card, which I had also used to clean the back of a stencil on.. soft colours but with some interesting patterns in amongst them.

to finish I added some clear bling, and a sentiment from a Darkroom Door set of stamps

I finished the inside with a strip of the background card

Hi Maxine! Lovely to think of you happily enjoying a bevy of crafts! Your mop-up panel makes a dreamy background for your geometric butterfly! I love the bold orange and yellow colors and the perfect dots of bling! Hugs, Darnell
I love the bold colours of your butterfly and that background is gorgeous. It just shows what you can do with those mop up pieces xx
Great use of colours in mop up background, imaginative card Maxine, take care and God bless. Praying for you. Shaz in Oz.x 🙏🏻 🤗
Another amazing card created by you, Maxine. A true piece of art! I like it!
Very striking Maxine & I love the addition of the clear bling. Your cards are always so detailed - you do such an amazing job of them.
What a great butterfly (and stencil)! Love the sunny red and yellow and the background you used! Hugs. Gerrina
Gosh! This has great impact Maxine, I love the colours on the butterfly and background. A beautiful make. x
I love how this turned out! The colors on the butterfly look so good together.
Beautiful card, Maxine! I love that butterfly. It's so creative with the geometric shapes. And that background is perfect! I'm glad you're doing some other hobbies too. I would love to see them when you can share! I've been working on some very old scrapbooking that needs to be done. But glad you took the time to share this with us at Word Art Wednesday! We love seeing what you've made! :)
Bold butterfly Maxine, and the background is guaranteed to coordinate when you use up the excess inkyness on it.
Interesting and creative artistry, especially the "mop up". Excellent result. Loving your techniques and beautiful results.
Hugs and Blessings
I am so happy to be back to your place Maxine! I'm really thankful for your visit to my Blog! I haven-t blogged for a long time and I feel so touched when I saw you visit! Really love your butterfly! The symmetry of the geometric shapes and the colors are just so beautiful!
Maxine, what beautiful combinations of colors, using an assortment of applications! LOVELY! hugs, de
Very striking - love the colours you've used.
Thanks for joining us at the Critter Crazy Challenge.

I've never heard of those geometric ink and flip stencils but h boy do they have impact. It is so creative and goes so well with that background.
Am wondering what these other crafts are, so looking forward to seeing some of them.
Blessings, Neet xx
Maxine, I appreciate that you regularly leave kind comments on my blog, so decided to stop by your blog to say "hello!" I'm glad I did! Your card is a fun one. I've not seen a flip stencil and I'm intrigued. The bright colors help the butterfly to pop right of the page. And the bits of bling add a wonderful sparkle. I also appreciate seeing how you decorated the inside of the card. I have started to leave the inside of my cards blank so that I could use them for any purpose needed, or just to write a note. I think I'll follow your lead and add a bit of the paper used on the front to provide some continuity. So... thanks for that suggestion!
Have a blessed day, Kathy aka myasperations
So lovely
