Butterfly thank-you

Happy weekend to everybody! Mine started a day early since I was fortunate to have yesterday off from work. I spent some time in my craft room making some Valentine goodies. I'll have those to share on the blog soon. To take a red and pink break, I whipped up a card last night for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge .


Plum...Pear...Moldy Cheese

I combined the color challenge with this week's CAS-ual Fridays sketch challenge by Laura.


I want to give a shout out to the Girl Fridays for selecting my card as the winner for last week's challenge. This was my very first win and I am still in shock. There were so many beautiful entries, I know it was a hard decision.

For this week's card I heat embossed the butterfly images with white embossing powder and popped them up with foam adhesive. The green butterfly was die cut from scrap paper that was already impressed with my Linen/canvas impression plate. I wanted to it be slightly different from the other butterfly beauties. I finished it off with my sentiment and  a little bling. Thanks for looking!

    Just perfection. The singular green impressed butterfly with the others just adds that "you are special to me" feeling to your lovely card. What a fab touch. I bet the recipient will feel extra special because of this. What a great use of color here too. Very fresh and Springy. Beautiful card.
