Now for my fun news - I am delighted to tell you that I am a Guest Designer over at Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge this fortnight! Yay! This is one of my favourite challenges because I love butterflies! If you're already playing over there, then you know each challenge theme is a different letter of the alphabet, but always including a butterfly. For this challenge our letter is C and our theme is Corners - so we would love to see a project that includes Butterflies plus C for Corners.
Well I was stumped at first! What to do, what to do! I started by die-cutting a white panel with my Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle. I had this gorgeous sparkly butterfly in my stash and I really wanted to use it! I made a design using snippets of leftover DP (MME). I added a butterfly in one of the corners and created a corner with gems on another.
Now that I was on a roll with the Corners theme, I decided to make a second butterfly card. I went really CAS with this one - just a butterfly in one corner and sequins in the other. I used the negative die-cut of Memory Box Oriel Butterfly. Behind the butterfly cut-out, I adhered several strips of washi tape. I love these bright spring colours! The white panel is popped up with foam tape, and I added three sequins in the opposite corner.

Please join in the fun over at the Butterfly Challenge. Remember - our theme is Butterflies plus C for Corners. Thank you, Mrs. A, for inviting me to be your Guest Designer! It was an honour - and also a lot of fun!

I love butterflies too! Your cards are just gorgeous. I never thought of a corner not being in a corner before.
Lovely cards. Congratulations on being guest designer
Two fabulous cards and congratulations on being GD this month.

I've just been looking at these over at the challenge blog Kitty, well done on the GDT spot, they are beauties.

WOW - these are gorgeous!!! Congrats on your DT spot too xx
Absolutely stunning cards Kitty! I loved that you interpreted corners as more than just using a corner punch or die (tee, hee - which is most likely what I'll do!!)

Two different and beautiful cards. I love how your designed the first card with lots of corners and the second CAS with one. Beautiful butterflies too. BTW the sunburst technique is not as hard as it looks the link gives you instructions on how to start and lay down the pieces and there are not many. I used wide two sided tape on the base and if it sticks quickly you are doomed but using glue might be a better option as you can slide the pieces together. I have done two others with patterned paper too.
Congrats on your GDT slot Kitty, I but you are over the moon. Both of these cards are so gorgeous. They are both so different but equally lovely.

Congratulations on being guest designer at The Butterfly Challenge! Your cards are stunning. I really like your take on Corners! The reverse image butterfly in the corner is so cool!
Congrats on being Mrs. A's guest designer this time around. I keep trying to play in her challenges but just don't have the time. Your interpretation of the corner theme is great and both your cards are fabulous. That top one is so elegant! I love the peek a boo washi tape on the bottom one.

Congrats on being a guest designer. Both cards are wonderful, Liz x
You have had two clever ideas and realized them so well!! Love the gems corner and the gorgous sparkly butterfly in the first one; love also so much the negative space of butterfly and the washi tapes, so colourful, in the second card! These are two adorable cards!
Congrats for your GD!!
Congrats on being GD!!! I love how your interpreted the challenge! Your bling corner is such fun. Your butterfly is amazing! Your papers look like they came in a kit with the butterfly, they match so well! I love your washi butterfly! Great color choices!
How beautiful are both these cards. Love the bright pop of colour on the second one and the use of the negative. We too often chuck these, and your card shows how good they can be. You sparkly butterfly certainly needed to be showcased and you did it beautifully - love the colours and the use of corners! Thanks for sharing with us at Unstampabelles and we hope to see you back again - amazing what can be created without stamps!!
Both cards are beautiful K. Congrats on your designer spot.

Hi Kitty, I'm here returning your visit and have joined your growing list of followers. I love these cards you made for Mrs A's challenge, especially the first with your thinking outside the box corner xx
HI, KT! Congrats on your GDT position, AND on creating these amazing cards! I absolutely LOVE the second card, and have pinned it. Your stitched card is so pretty with the rectangles in motion - perfect for a butterfly in flight! Very pretty cards. I always enjoy visiting your blog because you seem to employ lots of different techniques and styles. Thank you for the inspiration today! hugs, de
Trying to catch up a bit. Congrats on the guest spot. Love the simplicity of both cards. The butterfly on the 1st card is a real eye catcher!
Congratulations on being the Guest Designer for the Awesome Mrs. A, Kitty! I will do my best to make it over there to play. (I have so many NBUS butterflies that you both would take turns slapping me silly if you saw them!) Both your designs are sensational! I am really loving that first one with the layout of your papers and the gems just on one corner. The butterfly is fabulous, of course! And, wow, you can't go wrong with strips of colorful Washi behind a negative die cut! No waste and a wonderful QACAS card!! Thank you so much for playing for the third time in my NBUS Challenge #4, my friend! Hugs, Darnell
