I am so ready for flowers and butterflies. Mother Nature just doesn't want to let go of the cold, drizzly weather . At least I think we are past snow.
I pulled out some patterns from a Recollections paper pad. In spite of Mother Nature, we will have butterflies.
The card base is Mossy Meadow by SU. The background paper is covered with leaves.. The center banner is cropped form a butterfly page. Behind the banner is a strip of vanilla. Then a circle of a green printed vellum. On top is a butterfly from Simple Stories ephemera pack. The butterfly is secured with glue dots in the center and small bit of foam tape to elevate the wings. I finished off with 3 irridescent gems around the butterfly.
The design is by Freshly Make Sketches
Also entering at Hand Stamped Sentiments with this mood board, although I used more greens, I did use the butterfly.

This is just beautiful! I love the big butterfly on its vellum circle. The papers you used were perfect, too. Great composition.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card to celebrate Spring. Mother Nature teased us with a week of 70's then brought winter back. Now, we're back to Spring storms this weekend! I love the paper and the vellum circle is a great place for the butterfly to land.
