I love Wendy's Pay It Forward idea for today's Free for All Challenge - I really enjoy making "thinking of you" cards, just to let someone who's going through a rough time know that they're not alone and that they're being prayed for - this will go to someone in my church family. It's also for the Flourishes Beautiful World Tour this month, the theme is Vintage. All edges have been sponged with distress ink. I masked the flower image, sponging the oval with a stencil while still in the die, then spritzed it with Dylusions ink. The edges of the butterfly have been embossed with gold to pick up on the gold cord.
