Hi friends! It's Monday, which means it's time, once again, for a CCEE challenge. Once a month we choose a unique SCS name upon which we can create a card; this month we chose Butterfly Ears. When asked how she got her username, she said it's because her sweet doggie in her avatar has ears that look like butterflies! Hee!
So, here was our challenge. Make a card with two butterflies and four dog paws. I realize that my card makes absolutely no sense with these punched dog paws I created to go under my floral/butterfly focal point. All too late, I realized that I don't have any dog stamps or dog paws stamps!!! Egads! What was I to do? I have this corner punch that kind of resembles a dog's paws, so I punched and glued those very tiny pieces to create some paws; thus, the quirky sentiment!
I stamped the butterflies onto some blush blossom dp and highlighted with cameo coral marker and touches of iridescent ice. The wings are so pretty and glittery IRL. I colored my Heartfelt flower with a blush blossom marker , *thumped* it with my cameo coral marker, and water spritzed.
If you'd like to see the cards my friends' made (who did WAY better than I did with this challenge), click here:
TFL, and, please, no *Jeesh! What were you thinking? remarks.* Well, I guess you could say that, if you want to cause this truly is No Rhyme or Reason! LOL!

OMG, this makes perfect sense "to me". I would so love to thank you for choosing me for this honor. I could hardly sleep last night knowing that I was going to see some wonderful works of art today and all for me and my butterfly ears puppies. This card is absolutely stunning, I love the DP that you've used,the colors, the ribbon, the Nesties to frame that amazing image, the cutest little puppy toes I've ever seen, that oh so funny sentiment and last but not least those incredibly beautiful butterflies.
