Butterfly Thank You

It's a new day.  It's a cold day.  It's another good day to stay inside and make beautiful things!  Today I actually did have to brave the cold and venture out.  Fortunately, it was a short round trip and spent mostly in the car for which I am truly grateful.

I had started this card last night but decided I needed to catch up on some sleep rather than stay up most of the night creating.  I must say it was a wise decision.  I'm well rested and finished up this card in no time given I was struggling to get it done.  I love these colors together and was please to see that Pals Paper Arts was featuring them in their current challenge.  I used the sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I think they came together well, don't you?

    1. Thanks, Mike. Ferns always remind me of my grandmother's house. She had them growing every where. I think ferns are beautiful.
