My card features the Taylored Expressions butterfly set called Butterfly Parade and the TE sentiment set called Happy Heart. The bottom layer of the butterfly was cutout of patterned paper from Fancy Pants Beloved 6x6 paper pad with the Butterfly in the Sky die. The vellum overlay was stamped with the large butterfly from the TE Butterfly Parade set with Versamark, cutout with the same die, adhered to the pink butterfly, and the pearls were added to the top.
The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock with smoky slate and cutout with a circle die. The TE Medium Scalloped Border die was used to cutout the scallop and a doily was used in the background. A button, hemp, sewing, and enamel dots finish it off. TFL and I hope you can join us for this weeks TLC challenge!!!

Joan, this is fabulous! Love all those luscious layers in the soft pastels! What struck me most about your card is that it is SO positive and uplifting!

I love the entire card. Just as I started to scroll down, I noticed the embossed butterfly. That is genius. It really looks AMAZING and yet it's subtle so it doesn't steal from the rest of the card. Perfect.

Oh Joan, this looks so pretty and Spring-like and we really need some Spring around here about now!

This is so fun and carefree Joan!!! I love your layout, the pretty spring colors, and your embossed butterfly. Nice way to use the hemp twine and the button.
