I had this idea in my head for a couple of days and love how it turned out. The Doohickey butterfly die makes a beautiful diecut but is rather large so I made it the focal point of the card. I cut it from lilac card and used Dusty Concorde DI on some of it. The paper is from an old Gorjuss Girl pack and the lace is from Crafty Ribbons. I added some cheesecloth, flowers, metal corners and enamel dots.
This afternoon we off to form our bubble with my Mum. It will be so nice to go into her house and not worry about social distancing and we can give her a hug at last. Mum usually only goes into town for a few things once a week and we have hardly been anywhere and when we do we all very careful about handwashing and sanitising so feel perfectly safe to do this. It will be nice to have a bit of near normality. There comes a point where we have to start doing more but we will be taking that very slowly and won't be rushing into the city to go round the shops any time soon.

Stunning card, Marianne. Love those colour tones.
How lovely for you and your mum to be able to see each other again. My parents came round for a socially distance visit in our garden at the weekend. I haven't seen my niece since February. My sister and her hubby live about two hours away so we need to put a bit more organisation into it, and be hopefully that the weather stays dry.
Stay safe. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
