True story. The challenge was to "Rip out a page from a dictionary or an illustration from an old book." I found an OLD paperback dictionary I didn't even know I had. The first page I opened to began with the word handcraft and ended with haste. I found it amusing that to me they were opposites. Tad ah! Here is my handcrafted ripped card which was not made in haste.
I actually scanned the page so I could use it again. I opened the scanned image, re-sized and printed it. Then I ran it through the printer again to print the digital butterfly. I lightly water colored the butterfly.

Oh, Gail, what a fun card, and I LOVE that the words worked so perfectly! LOL! And what a great idea to scan this dictionary page. I love the watercolored butterfly and that amazing Memory Box die. Beautifully done, sweet friend! Hugs!
