Here is my card for this week's Twisted Sister challenge - Sillyfilly asked us to make a card with a stamp that had never seen ink, or an old stamp that had not seen ink for a long time, plus to use an embossing folder and include a butterfly.
I got this stamp more than 6 months ago, and this is the first inking! Love the freedom of the image!! Die cut and punched out a bunch of leaves for the "tree" and popped up the word "Soar!" with a glittered butterfly on the tip. Inside says, "Imagination can take you anywhere!" Would also be a good card for encouraging someone! Had this in my mind all week and JUST got around to it, sorry I am late, girls!
If you want to join us, please put TSC0206 in your keywords. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!!

Sue, one of my most favorite things when I was a kid was to swing!!!! And I wore pony tails too! I love this card. It has such a feeling of carefree playfulness. We all must be longing for spring time!
