The story of how I obtained this butterfly die is too funny not to share. Two of my friends and I made about a 3 hour road trip to a scrapbook store that was hosting a stamping/scraping garage sale. My friend Nita knows I love butterflies so when she spotted this butterfly die, she held it up from across the room to ask me if I wanted it. Of course I said yes, but what was so funny is there was another woman beside Nita trying to jump up and take the die from Nita. What is even funnier is that Nita is not all that tall. LOL. That memory is forever seared in my brain and I chuckle every time I use this wonderful die. I found a card very much like this on the Impression Obsession site so I basically cased that design. I did not have the flower stamp they used and I changed the color, but otherwise, it is the same. My grandmother always had heavenly blue morning glories blooming at her house so she was really on my mind when I was coloring in these flowers.
