The tea potters are making cards to send to Joan aka Scrappinmama72inPA for her birthday. Joan has some medical problems and her daughter, Emily, thinks we can cheer her up with some birthday cards.
My card took a whole different turn. When I colored the butterfly, I was going to use some bright colors on a white back ground. Well, somewhere it took a different turn and became more subtle. Had I known I was going to do this, I would have not used the orange on the butterfly. I would have used a softer color.
I am late today, but I did come in the front door. Wow, that is a switch. I hope Joan has a nice birthday.

Very nice card! I love your mixed bkgrd with flourish and flower die cuts. Your butterfly is wonderful and the aqua blue and orange look great together. I think the orange gives it just the right "pop!"
