Angella's Lovely card was my inspiration today. I set out to find some butterflies because we were asked by Cindy - Mothermark of MMTPT fame to make a get well card for Emily - scrappinmama72inpa to help cheer her up and on after a nasty fall that is going to require neck surgery that will have a 3 month recovery period. Cindy hinted that Emily loves butterflies!! Well Angella's gallery obliged me, she has lots and lots of butterflies!!
I punched some Martha Stewart butterflies in gold paper and added stickles. Two of the butterflies are doubled. I made a background of MS border punches and paper strips from other projects, mounted this on gold paper added a little round sentiment, 3 dew drops, decorated the envelope with a flourish in gold and VOILA!!
I really like that background made with paper strips and don't know why I don't do more of them as I have many, many strips of paper as I am sure we all do!!
