Hello, friends! It is a New week, and Spring is just one day away. I am so happy that the weather has been sunny and warm for the last few days, it makes me want to get outdoors and work in the yard, planting flowers that will draw butterflies and birds into "my space"! But, according to the weatherman this evening, there is more cold weather and rain ahead in the forecast.
The Classy Cards N' Such Challenge of the Week this week is "Flutterbys", and I just love butterflies! I started this card with a piece of printed paper from the Spring Market Collection from Websters Pages, that has small butterflies on it. I cut two larger butterfly dies from Mandarin Curious Metallic and Onyx Stardream Metallic card stock, available in the Classy Cards N' Such Online Store. I used my Copic markers and Wink of Stella glitter pens to color in various areas of the dies to make them seem more realistic. I then cut the word "Friend" die from a scrap of the Mandarin Metallic paper and stamped "you are amazing" below it. I tied a length of twine three times around the card spine before tying a square knot, which finished off the card front.
The supplies used from the Classy Cards online store were:
WP-WPK-31 Webster Pages Spring Market Collection Combo Pack,
TPC-577 Pluto-Onyx Stardream Metallic,
TPC-772 Mandarin Curious Metallic Card Stock
I hope you enjoy the final days of Winter, it has been such a long, cold, and devastating time, the hot, dry, 100 degree days of drought cannot be far behind.

Such a happy spring card! I like the Mandarin Curious Orange cardstock and how you let it show through on the butterflies! Butterflies are a sure sign of spring. The FRIEND in Orange jumps out making a triangle to balance the 2 larger butterflies. (the triangle is an "Art" thing.) Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy how you put words together and form nice sentiments.
