I am waiting for the day when I start my description by saying.." I had all the time in the world to leisurely creat this card and even more time to upload it" , but that never seems to be the case. I mignt just start writing that anyway so I don't sound like a frantic lunatic. Since it has been raining here in Southern Calif. ("rain" and "California" - 2 words that usually don't appear in the same sentence) I have been going to the library to color on my lunch hour. This was a quick image to color with copics using the CC507 colors. I used the SC517 for the layout. Such a terrific, versatile layout. I have been using my unknown flourish die cut and MS pine branch punch a lot because they are out on the dinning room table and I am too rushed and frantic to search in the deep, dark recesses of the coat closet for anything else. The stamp is a postage theme for the WT508, and even though the colors are Christmas, there is no sentiment and I know a few people with birthdays now that I can use this for, so I included it for the F4A430 for a non Christmas card. I did make a second one of these with a Christmas sentiment. Well, I am rushing off like a "frantic lunatic" but hopefully I will be able to make another card..card making is my form of yogo. TFL, Francie

I love the distressed edging to your focal image, and the lovely gold flourishes. And the colours in the butterflies are gorgeous! It would be a beautiful winter birthday card.

Such a pretty card Francie!! I like the look of the plaid bow and your gold flourishes. The butterflies are beautiful too, the way they are floating around.

Beautiful butterfly postal collage...great coloring, a lot of depth. I really like your unknown flourish to supplement the festive bow and your handy MS pine branches. Lovely card and way to go on combining four challenges!
