This week, Mary selected Black, silver and white for the color challenge. Very elegant colors! Now, the dessert is celebration. You may not think I did a celebration, but I think I did The butterfly represents change and new beginnings. We are celebrating that we will be having our second grandchild in September. We just found out! So our little Madi will be a big sister!
I stamped the LaBlanche (flowers) with Versafine. The butterflies were stamped, fussy cut and there is just a bit of black stickles on each of them.
Thank you to all the design team members and everyone for all the inspiration throughout the year. Wishing for a healthy and happy 2014 for all!!!

Lovely, Kathleen.........your LaBlanche image gives a lovely toile feeling in the black and white. The butterflies and their significance add a very pretty touch. A celebration indeed. A very Happy New Year to you.

This makes me think a little of - mind goes blank here, help - toile de Jouy designs, in the classic black and white with a soft feel. And with Stickles on them, I bet those butterflies are even more gorgeous in real life.
What a wonderful way to start the New Year with the promise of a new life!
