Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Years ago I worked in a needle crafting store and we had a cross stitch pattern
with this quote on it. I always loved the quote but never actually used it.
I've been on the lookout for a stamp with the saying for a long time and
finally found one. Isn't the font beautiful?
The butterfly was stamped in black on some patterned paper, then splattered with some
peach ink by flicking the end of a marker against a piece of acetate.
I splattered a bit on the background too.
No die, but it was pretty easy to fussy cut that butterfly.
The colors are from the Color Hues Challenge #45
There are so many beautiful peach and gray cards in that gallery.
Do go take a look.
