I was hoping I would be able to upload this awesome card from Anne Ryan in today's challenge....and I can. The card I am honoring from today's challenge is this one: SC240 - CTD54 Butterfly Beauty by akronstamperdpk at Splitcoaststampers
Anne's card has the same sketch and basically the same message. Butterflies are symbols of hope and change and this message reminded me that EVERYONE has a little rain in their lives....it is how we handle it that really matters.
Anne's card is perfectly colored believe me. The little angel in the raincoat is darling and it has Anne's signature gold sheet behind it. I loved this card when I saw it in her gallery and I am so blessed that is now mine!!!
The card I am casing is totally beautiful too. Love all of the colorful butterflies. Darlene's work is gorgeous.
Loved honoring two special ladies today.
