Pretty Pastels

Would you believe I've used butterflies again?  It seems that so many of my projects lately have included butterflies and flower.  It's a good thing that both are favorites of mine.  The one thing I miss most about living in my current apartment building is the fact that I can't have a flower garden.  I love getting my hands dirty planting and weeding and just sitting on the porch watching the butterflies come visit all my pretty flowers.  These days they visit the pretty cards I make.


Stamp Set:  Butterfly Basics, Lovely Amazing You; Inks:  Pistachio Pudding, Soft Sky; Card Stock:  All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack, Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  2013-2015 In Color Sequins Assortment, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine,  Dimensionals, Labels Collection Framelits Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Pearl Basic Jewels, SNAIL Adhesive

The soft, pretty colors are from the Pals Paper Arts Challenge.

      Thanks, Buffy! For some reason these are colors I don't often use, especially pink.

    Hi Marsha, I'm squealing in delight of your card. The layers are simply perfect and the colors are brought together with the delicate touch of the butterflies on the background. The heart sequen add the finishing touch with the sweet petite pearls. Thank you for joining us at Pals Paper Arts this week.
