Butterflies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I was lucky to find some of Spellbinders butterfly stickers on clearance.

They are so pretty and make for quick and easy cards.

This first one is for the Time Out Challenge theme of
Friendship/Encouragement/Support and for Darell's I.D.E.A.S. (second
Monday of the month is Die Cuts).


Challenge:
Time Out #271 - Theme of Friendship
Darnell's IDEAS - D is for Die Cuts

Next up I stayed with the blues and used a book-binding fold.


I used a favorite embossing folder to hold a trio of butterflies.
This is my favorite of the three.

Finally...


I used a sentiment set that a sweet friend sent me for my birthday stamped
on a piece of Brusho mop up with gesso spread over top.

Challenges:
Word Power #9 - Sentiment is focus of the card

Bonnie, those flutterbys are SO beautiful! You've treated them to such pretty places to perch! I've yet to try that bookbinding fold - that one is my favorite today... love that icy blue, too!

I love butterflies on cards, Bonnie! Three gorgeous designs, especially those first two on the soft blue. My favourite is the first one - such a lovely die cut background. Also love the book-binding fold on the second one.

Pat said...

Three wonderful creations Bonnie and love the colours on the first two with those beautiful butterflies and the floral die cut background on the first, and the beautiful embossed one on the second. The third looks great with the words taking centre stage and yet another fantastic butterfly, and very dramatic with the black background card. x

Three gorgeous butterfly cards, Bonnie. Each one is so beautifully designed. I have not made a card with the book binding layout ... it's fantastic. Definitely want to give that a try. Always inspired when I'm here. :) xx
