Butterfly Wishes




ETA: glad everyone liked the tag pocket & wanted to let you know it was 
Sarah M. Parker's design from the Butterfly Kisses Card kit.
Sorry, it's a bit long today. It won't hurt my feelings if you don't have time to read it.

OK, so here is how this card came together:
-I received my Butterfly Kisses Card Kit by Sarah Martina Parker from The Craft's Meow last week. Whoo hoo! 
-Last night I was sitting at my creative desk and, without looking, I grabbed a 6"x6" sheet of dp. It was the rust/white dp that the butterfly fairy is stamped on. I went ahead and stamped her in Really Rust. She isn't that orange IRL, really it's rust!  
-The other layer of dp, (from the kit), looks like gingham to me and I know I saw a challenge on that, (see below).
-I decided I might as well use gingham ribbon too. I used Kraft card stock, (from the kit), random flowers, random natural twine, and Prima e. pearls. The tag is from a decoupage book, and tucked behind the image panel. It's removable.
-The image and sentiment are from, 'Butterfly Kisses', a set by Nina B. for The Crafts Meow. The set is included in the Butterfly Kisses Card Kit.


I'm entering Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challengeto use plaid or gingham on your creation. I always use ODBD stamps when I play the SLC, but it didn't work out that way this week. Maybe I'll get some time to make another one. What am I thinking, it's Capital Area Classic girls high school soccer tournament time!?!

I'm also able to play at the StampTV, Free For All Friday challenge. Wow, now that's a site I haven't played at in forrrrever! Cathy T. wants us to 'Get Krafty' and use some of that wonderful Kraft cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by, I know it's been a while between projects/postings.
