I have had so much fun creating cards with my old Martha punch ... but today I have had even more fun - with a Verve die I've had for a few years, but haven't used as much as I should have done! Pssst... it's on sale!

This little beauty is too fun to stop at one card! Here's another, in a more graphic setting:
Thanks for fluttering by today!

beautiful...thanks for the awesome inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThey are both extra fabulous, but you know those polka dots have stollen my heart yet again!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, both of them!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely! Jo x
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are STUNNING but I like the blue one best as it is my favorite color!! However, I like the vellum an the window on the top one. Okay, I guess I like them equally!!
ReplyDeleteOh, they are such adorable little darlings!! I don't know which one I like better..but I guess I'll go with the latter, since I love stripes better than polka dots! ;) Wonderful, heart warming creations, Michele!!

PS: Sorry about the 'no-reply blogger' thingy - can't help it - its either use my blog address, which means no one can see my blog if they want to (I got complaints on this earlier) or using my Google ID, since I don't own a Google based blog account... But don't worry, as a blogger/card maker, I know you'll read all the comments and feel that warm glow in the heart!! I definitely do!! :)
Beautiful cards with lovely butterflies! Great take on the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteLove those butterflies cut with the patterned paper! They look amazing - as do your cards!
ReplyDeleteSigh ... sometimes Michele, it's a challenge to come up with suitable superlatives to describe your cards ... suffice to say there was a sharp intake of breath when I saw these two beauties, so gaspingly gorgeous seems a good description! They're stunning and I couldn't choose a favourite between the two! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteTwo absolute beauties Michele! Love those soft gray polka dots on the first and touch more graphic feel of the second. Thanks so much for playing with us at Curtain Call!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Michele! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!! These cards are so pretty!!!!!! I think I have that Martha punch. I may just have to CASE you!! (again) heehee

Oh GF, you know I loves me a butterfly (or two) and both your designs are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart's all aflutter (is there such a word??) with your flutterby cards!
ReplyDeleteLove them both. So need to start making cards again and love the ideas this one gives me. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous, Michele! I love your wonderful takes on the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are absolutely delightful and smile inducing, Michele! I have such a soft spot for butterflies and you've created two equally beautiful cards using them. I adore the colors! The backgrounds are wonderful, too. Thank you so much for sharing your talents! Wonderful work! :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh, this butterfly card is so pretty! I absolutely love this idea! Seriously, I am going to make a card inspired by this and then you'll see it somewhere and think it looks familiar. That, is why you are an inspiring card maker to me! It looks beautiful and sweet!
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Michele
Two words - Per Fect! The vellum gives an airy feel to the first card. You know just how to layer your die cuts for maximum impact.
ReplyDeleteSigh......total sweetness.....
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful cards, Michele. Thanks so much for sharing them. I will need to CASE!
ReplyDeleteDip Dyed Ombré Cardstock? Swoon! So perfect with these gorgeous butterflies, and of course, I LOVE your polka dot papers on the first one! Two really beautiful cards, Michele!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely butterfly cards! I love both backgrounds and the soft colors. What a great take on the photo. Thank you for playing along with us at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge.
ReplyDeleteyour first butterfly card is so pretty, it made me smile...the second one made my jaw drop GOR-JEOUS Hon. WOW. Thanks for the eye candy.
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous! Love the wonderful papers, especially the lovely gray with polka dots. And your butterflies look awesome fluttering across the top!
