A few weeks ago on my WOYWW post I indicated a box on my craft area that had butterflies in it. My Blogger friend Brandy sent them to me. It included about 40 butterflies of different colors and different cuts. I thought I would show you today two more cards that I made with the butterflies. I thought they were all so lovely and lacy, I just love using them on my cards. They made these cards easy! Thanks Brandy! :)

I needed this card unfortunately for a friend this week. I used SU! Thoughts & Prayers set. I used Spellbinders oval and lacy oval dies. I made clouds by punching a scalloped circle and sponging around it, a trick I learned from one of SCS friends. :) The cardstock is SU! Baja Breeze & Close to Cocoa, & Whisper White. The ink is VersaFine Vintage Sepia, ( my favorite go to ink pad). I sponged with Baja Breeze. Then I used pearls on one of the butterflies that Brandy so wonderfully cut and sent me! :)

I made this birthday card for a dear friend. Just gave it to her this week. I ran the white through with a EF, and layered on Tempting Turquoise. I stamped it with sentiment from Elegant Greetings from SU! I just happened to have ribbon that matched the butterflies! :) Really, the four butterflies are the stars here!
I wish you all a great week-end! Hope you get to craft some. Thank you for stopping by and for your comments!
Hugs!
Both cards are lovely. The butterflies are pretty. You did a good job on those clouds. So sorry for your friends loss.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your card are very pretty Sharon! I also LOVE those butterflies that Brandy sent you...they compliment your creations perfectly! Very nice work my friend & TFS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cards are just beautiful! I really like the colors and the embossing folder on the second one. :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry for your friend's loss. I love making sympathy cards for their beauty and what they mean but the occasion, not so much.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sponging around the edge of a scallop. Thanks for sharing that tip!
