It's Tilly here, fluttering by on Teapot Tuesday with a demo on proper butterfly etiquette. Hope Turbo and Tucker get the hint and learn to hover, flitter and dance instead of dive bombing the flowers!
This card is for Jackie, a fellow SCS stamper who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Jackie loves butterflies, and since the Monarch's Fall migration is underway, maybe they'll all land in her mailbox!

Wow, this is wonderful! I love your coloring on the image and all the decorative piercing! The ribbon stems are a great idea! Thanks for making this lovely creation for my mom, she will be delighted!

Ha - I think you were in my garden. I took some photos of Red Admirals on my sunflowers just recently. I like your ribbon stem, and that piercing is really wonderful looking.

This is a mighty gorgeous sunflower you've colored up so well to show perfect butterfly manners! LOVE this and the ribbon stem/leaves was very creative.
