BOGOF

I don't know whether anywhere but the UK uses this term? Here, it is short for "Buy One Get One Free"  and that's how I feel about this card, because after I'd used the papers and toppers I'd printed out for the card I was planning to make, I had enough left for another whole card!

This week's CD Sunday challenge is Butterflies  - a perfect excuse to use the Sharon Duncan "Beautiful Butterflies" CD that I've had for years and never used. Before I started playing along with CD Sundays, I just couldn't think what to do with the images. Seeing all your creations every week has inspired me, but this week I still needed a bit of a push to get me to do something more than just "Print out image - stick to card - finished."

And while mooching around and following links from other blogs, I bumped into this super sketch from Random Acts Of Creativity where it is the theme for Sketchbook Saturday 91.

All the papers and the butterfly toppers and sentiments I used are from the CD. I cut out the shapes and inked the edges to hide my scrappy cutting   give the edges some definition and then assembled the card, pausing only to pick up the 500 tiny brads that I dropped on the floor after opening the box upside down to take one out for the flower centre.


There were so many elements left  that I had enough to make my "freebie", a diagonal easel card. I decided to put the sentiment in a slightly unusual place so that it sits centrally below the image when the card is standing up, otherwise it looks a bit tipsy!

    BOGO is a HUGE coupon term where I live. There's two kinds, free and second one 50% off. Just depends on the market.

    Two very lovely cards. Those butterfly images are great and I love the colours. Had to smile about the brads - can't be many crafters out there that haven't done something similar! :-)
