Yeah, I know it's not square. Square cards take extra postage or extra work on the envelope, so I went with what I'm comfortable using. The sketch is there, just elongated. Hope the challenge police don't come after me.

I did 3 more too. Want to see?
I've got to confess that I whacked the butterfly stamp. I have the clear set and I used a blade to cut the butterflies apart. I can still fit them together on a block, or space them further apart, or even line them up vertically. This time I used the largest butterfly and didn't have to worry about the other little guys smudging. I think I'll get a lot more mileage out of this stamp this way. And the best thing is that this set will be with us for another year. Yippee!
And kindness does matter.
Thank you so much for your visits and kind words.
Enjoy!
We'll forgive our American cousins for using rectangular cards.... I realise that square cards are more expensive to post in the US.
ReplyDeleteThese are just great Bonnie!

ReplyDeleteAll are great. Like the idea of cutting the image apart to separate the butterflies too.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set of cards Bonnie - hadn't realised it costs more to send square cards in the US - we'd be bankrupt over here in the UK!!! lol
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, lovely combination of colours
ReplyDeleteI love your use of the butterfly Bonnie and what a great idea to split them up. And I agree about kindness mattering!
ReplyDeleteI say, go ahead and cut apart stamps if it suits you better! I've done that a couple of times. If it gets you more mileage, more power to ya.
ReplyDeleteI see some pretty butterfly cards that might look nice in your bathroom! ;)
