Hi! This card was made for today's Featured Stamper Challenge: Christy S. Participants were to CASE, (Copy And Share Everything) a card from the Featured Stamper's Gallery. I chose this card.
I changed the stamp set, left off the stars, and added a strip between the panels. I kept the same color combo and layout.
The images were stamped onto Ivory and colored with Copics.
This card was made for my dad. This spring my father decided to surprise my mother by planting a Butterfly Garden. He went to several garden centers and bought flowers that were "butterfly friendly." He tilled the earth, fertilized, and planted the already GROWN specimins in the backyard so that my mother could see them from her porch. He was very proud of his accomplishment, invited us over to see the new "butterfly garden," called my grandmother in Maryland to brag about it,etc. When we arrived at 8AM the next morning, the "blue flowers???" were covered in BROWN MOTHS!!! Moths were EVERYWHERE!!! And, they COVERED the pretty flowers so from the porch the flowers all looked dead! LOL! So, every chance I get, I make blue flower/leaf card with BROWN butterflies on it!!! heeheehee!
