Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We're still not seeing many butterflies or bees in our yard.
But I have an abundance of butterflies in my craft collection.
I needed to make some butterfly cards for our Craft Group swaps this month.
The hardest thing about this assignment was deciding which butterfly to use.
I ended up going with this large one from Penny Black's Butterfly Trio.
I stamped and heat embossed a few on mixed media paper. Some were embossed with
white and some with black.
Then I colored with Distress Markers and my waterbrush changing up the colors.
No die for this stamp, but it's easy to fussy cut.
I am accumulating some beautiful 3D embossing folders from the Spellbinders club. So
I embossed a few backgrounds to mount the butterflies on.
Here's another that won't make it to the craft group...
The swaps and aqua butterfly card are A6 size cards and I embossed the flap of an
envelope to go with each.
Here's a peek at the swaps with the black embossing.

This large butterfly is so pretty and looks amazing in all the different colours, Bonnie. I especially love the ones embossed in black --- the contrast is so striking. xx
That is such a lovely butterfly no matter the color, Bonnie. I love all your embossing, especially the flowers that the butterflies can perch on.

Wonderful set of cards, love all the different colours and great to see you using your embossing folders xx
What a fabulous PB butterfly image and love all the different colours with the white and black embossing Bonnie, but I think I do just favour the black which makes them really pop against the white embossed backgrounds...a gorgeous selection of 3D embossing folders too. x
Absolutely beautiful butterfly cards Bonnie! I love the embossing folders you used with those butterflies. I think my favorite are the black embossed one, boy do those colors pop with the black embossing! Hugs, Brenda

Beautifully watercolored fussy cut butterflies, Bonnie. I love your different 3D folders backgrounds and colored card bases that match your butterflies. Wonderful to have cards without sentiments in your stash too. Your girls in your class will LOVE your projects. TFS my sweet friend...Love and Hugs...Nancy
Beautiful cards, Bonnie! Love the embossing, dry and heat, plus your colors chosen are terrific. I see no sentiments so they'll be great for "the need", as it arises
OH WOW! These are ALL just beautiful Bonnie! You go girl!! What gorgeous inspiration! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Can You Handle the Pressure challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
