Congratulations Nancyruth!!! I was so happy to see you were the FS today!! I made this card in purple in your honor, but I don't know if you will remember why.
When I first joined SCS, one of the first comments I made was to NR regarding a beautiful purple card she had made. It was so awesome! I took the opportunity to tell her how much I loved her image, color and technique. She pm'd me, and I received it in the mail!! That's how I knew SCS was a wonderful place. Because of that card I have enjoyed "meeting" so many fabulous stampers, but Nancyruth was my mentor, so to speak.
I kept the layout, punch, and a similar bg dp. I changed the button to a butterfly, the tie to a bow, made purple the main color, left off the sentiment, and added pearls.
Congratulations again my friend....enjoy your day!!

This is gorgeous! I love everything about this card. The border punch, to the rhinestones on the butterfly, to the perfect bow. I love purple too. Great job!
