I got my old Martha Stewart butterflies out, and a new Concord & 9th Parsley card stock, for today's version:
Hope it makes YOU smile, and that you'll play along! Let's go see what the DT has up their sleeves this time around for CTS384 ... and be sure to take a peek at all the fabulous cards in the 2013 gallery for an additional bit of inspiration!

Beautiful simplicity! Jo x
ReplyDeleteGob-smacked with these colors...that parsley color against the grey is drop-dead gorgeous. It doesn't hurt that your design skills are glaringly apparent, either. The dusting of pure white butterflies is the perfect accent. Just fabulous. On a side note, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog, precious friend.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe that this sketch is from 2013! That just goes to show you that a good sketch is timeless and you have brought this one up-to-date perfectly! I love all of the dies that you used and the new card stock from C&9 is a fantastic color!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Rachelle : )
This is just gorgeous, that amazing green looks stunning on grey and the white butterflies are a beautiful finishing touch, wonderful xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful colour combination Michele. The pop of vibrant green looks fabulous against the grey and yes you made me smile.....Thank you x.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning!! I LOVE the simplicity of your design with that green cs (need to open my package cuz I got a sampler of it from C9, as well as more INKS!!) I also love your little butterflies. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is very calming and peaceful...something I need today.
ReplyDeleteI think I did this sketch back in the day - i may have to look it up! Anyway I certainly did not do it as beautifully as you just did ....oh that delicate green diecut - just wonderful with the gray!

I can see you're loving that Parsley paper, Michele. It looks wonderful with the gray.
ReplyDeleteLove this card, I still have that MS punch and the parsley is such a great colour. So expensive to ship paper north of the border. I may need to ship it to you before our get together next year! xo
ReplyDeleteGosh yes, Michele ... this vibrant green-on-grey lovely sure did have me smiling ... those tiny white butterflies are a delicious touch! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour gray and celery and wonderful, and your card is a delight -- you always make us smile :o)
ReplyDeleteYour framed leaves are absolutely gorgeous against the gray background, Michele! I LOVE the thin frame with the contrast of the chunky leaves and those darling MS butterflies...CAS perfection, my friend!
