Winnie the Pooh's coming to the teaparty to celebrate the birth of baby Jon with three extra guests here! I have it from reliable sources that butterflies are extremely well behaved and don't eat much, in fact, they may even be sort of boring to talk to if you get trapped in a corner with one over a cup of tea - very pretty to look at though!
I got Winnie from a free coloring page website, but I wouldn't recommend it as the quality of the print wasn't great and I had to go over him with a black marker! Colored him with copics and popped him up over strips of dp sponged with ink and cut with scallops. The original image had a butterfly on Winnie the Pooh's nose which made me think of this sentiment which I've seen somewhere before, and it's computer generated. I embossed the cream card base with swiss dots and added some little punched butterflies with tiny buttons.

Great job with the googled image of Pooh, I was checking them out and came to the same conclusion the printing was not that hot ha! your coloring of him is super. I really like the words you created and the butterflies are beautiful. Brilliant idea using patterned paper so the butterflies have the markings on their wings just like a real one and I like how you added the cute buttons.

Hi there! I woulda been here earlier to greet you but I got caught up in a corner talking to some boring butterflies and could not break away! Oh, oops...so sorry. I didn't know that YOU were the one that brought those boring critters! Snort! But I truly believe they are the most beautiful ever!
This is such a precious precious card! So glad you are here to share it with us! Love what you did to the image!

Well, in my book, that Pooh looks practically perfect in every way - whatever you had to do, it sure doesn't look like there was a problem at all!! Such a C&S card, though I am sure you still spent a good lot of time on it i it still has that simple look! Super job!!
