Oh - I remember all your butterfly cards. This couldn't be better - somewhere on my desk is one of those wooden Kaiser butterflies already painted white.
The only problem is where - rolls eyes...
For today's challenge, butterflies, I added lots of ribbon, and many butterflies, made with my Creative Memories mini butterfly punch. I borrowed my friend's SU retired stamp sets- Just Buzzin By and Love You Much. I added a few flowers from the sharing bin she has at her house, and reverse DC light pink background. My little bee sends her love Here's my card:
Boy I'm late getting mine done today! But got 'er done! LOL! Wonderful challenge Wendy, thank you! I love butterflies, to watch IRL, and to color! here is mine:
Here is my HYCCT1113 Butterfly card. I had fun making this challenge with my mother's favorite things butterflies and rainbows. I found the sentiment first and thought it applied oh so well. I made the rainbow using a Tim Holtz Masking sheet on the Stampin' Up Presto Pattern paper and then coloring each stripe with distress ink. The same effect could be made with clear embossing on white. I'm sending five of these cards. Thanks, Debby
