My friend Nancy sent me a wonderful gift and kindly named me the butterfly Mama! I'm so pleased by both!
This gorgeous Picket Fence Big Beautiful Butterfly die takes up a lot of real estate on a card - all I had to do was add a bit of interest to my card panel, and a few pretty blooms to tempt her to stick around! lol
Reverse Confetti cover plate, Pinkfresh Hydrangea and Rose washi/die combo,
& Fancy Script hot foiled words/dies
My 2-piece butterfly was cut from white and vellum, and even though I snipped one of its wings, she looks perfectly happy here on this buttery yellow!
Thank you, Nancy for this beautiful gift - I'm definitely looking forward to blooming more butterflies on my front porch soon! Wish you could join me! I'm fluttering over to see how your butterfly bloomed...

ReplyDeleteOoh, I love this gorgeous butterfly with it's vellum underlay! I can see why this beautiful yellow background and pink flowers attracted her! Awesome card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat gorgeous big butterfly really suits you well since your always are flitting from one important task to another. What's so impressive is you do them so well plus you make such generous friends a long the way. Nancy knew you'd create something as fabulous as this card from her gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing die. This card is so elegant.
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is pretty special and looks fabulous on the vellum. I love the white with the flowers behind and that lovely yellow base. A beautiful card and what a fabulous present xx
ReplyDeleteWow, your butterfly is stunning, Michele! Love the elegant combination of the white and vellum! The way you placed the big butterfly, the flowers, and the sentiment is very well-balanced. What amazed me is that the card doesn't look busy at all even with the de-bossed background. I would not have the courage to add flowers, the patterned background, or the gems to the delicate butterfly. You are so good at combining and arranging many elements!
