I hope it's ok to do a CASE of a CASE: Case of Mrs Noofy's butterflies by jasonw1 at Splitcoaststampers hope it's ok to do a CASE of a CASE.
What a beautiful gallery Peggy has! Such beautiful, pretty cards, which are always a challenge for me to do. And CASEing is always hard for me.
I loved those little ribbon butterflies. I painted the watercolor butterfly a few days ago but wasn't thrilled with it. So I decided to slice it in half, thought it had more impact that way. Added one ribbon butterfly, a sentiment and some dewdrops. No diecuts, although I thought about adding some. I had also seen some tall skinny cards in her gallery, which reminded me of how much I like tall skinny cards.

I absolutely LOVE this, Jean - you're right, the partial butterfly is really effective and your watercolouring is so pretty - love that sentiment too, it's perfect.

Your watercolor butterfly ROCKS as does the amazing design of this card. I love that you cut it in half and how perfectly it works on this tall card. Your sentiment is soooo perfect as is the ribbon butterfly. Thank you SO MUCH for honoring me with this beauty and joining in on my week of being FS.

Jean, this is fabulous! You really are such an inspiration in your creativity and interpretation of Peggy's card! I love it! Thanks for the reminder too, that I never did a tall and skinny card which is now on my to do list!

oh my goodness...this is extraordinary, Jean! I was attracted to the very same card of Peggy's...you have taken it to a whole new level. Fabulous watercolor and you were right in that it is so much more with a bit of mystery in the part. The sentiment is perfect...love how the word JOY is popped above! Yep, total awesomeness.
