Have you seen any butterflies yet?
I saw a couple a few weeks back but none since then.
I hope our butterfly bush will attract some.
I found this little guy in the studio.
He was already watercolored and all he needed was a place to land.
The background was in my background box and I didn't make note of
how I did it. My best guess is that it's mixed media paper smooshed in
Distress ink or SU reinkers.?!
I used a Memory Box die for the background and added some
die cut daisies. I thought about adding color to the daisies, but decided
I liked them au naturale.
I hope this brings a little bit of a sunshiny feeling to you!

A great design on this card, Bonnie. The smooshed panel made a perfect landing spot for the bright butterfly. A sunny smile on a rainy day here.

Yep, we've had lots of them around but nothing as pretty as this one! Beautiful card and I am loving the artsy look! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, bright, sun-shine-y card today, Bonnie! I just love it when all the elements for a card are at my fingertips - or yours! What gorgeous yellows you have, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWe've seen one Monarch, but not in our own yard. It's a bit early for them here, usually they arrive in June.

Gorgeous die cut background for your beautiful uncolored die cut daisies and gorgeous inked butterfly, Bonnie. Your yellow/orange and white color combo is so cheerful and reminder of Spring. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteThere are loads of butterflies fluttering about middle England, brought out by the heatwave we've been having here. I really like your stitched butterfly and your sunshine colour scheme! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and cheerful. Love the color on your smooshed panel and the diecut section. I think the white daisies look great against it. TFS

This is such a bright and happy card with a great design, Bonnie! I love the sunshine colors of the butterfly and the smooshed background. You gave the card so much interest using the minimal number of colors!

Many congratulations Bonnie with the 'Win' over at Poppy stamps with this amazing and stand out card x. Sunshine on a card my friend x.
ReplyDeleteLike a breath of sunshine, this monochromatic card screams "spring". Your white blooms accent perfectly without stealing the butterfly's focal point. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose 'found' pieces work perfectly together, Bonnie. And the color does bring a ray of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a well-deserved win at PS. 👏🎉🎉🎉 All elements work together harmoniously. Love it!
