Winged Things

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

Happy Monday.


This first one is for Freshly Made Sketches.  I pulled this mop up background from
my stash and added it to a watercolor card base.  Three squares were die cut from
another piece of watercolor paper and some simple flowers were stamped on top.

Butterflies were cut from the rest of the mop up background to add to the squares.

A foiled sentiment finishes it off.

I'm sending this to Freshly Made Sketches #692. Here's Narelle's sketch...

Bonnie, you know how dear to my heart butterflies are and these little beauties are so pretty in those mopped-up colors! Narelle is going to love it, too!

These bright summery colors caught my eye right away! Just gorgeous! The butterflies are beautiful against that brilliant background!

That mop up piece couldn't be any lovelier if you planned it, Bonnie. It works great for the background and for the butterflies.

Looks like those butterflies are fluttering about in a beautiful sunset! This is marvelous, Bonnie!

You make mopping up with card stock much more fun than mopping the floor. Plus, you got gorgeous colors whereas most only get gray water! This is so pretty with the butterflies cut from the same paper. I love that design too.

A really summery card using this wonderful mop up piece Bonnie, and the pretty added butterflies on their white stitched squares with the added stamped flowers finish the look brilliantly, and great contrast with the black sentiment strip over the top...a beautiful card. x

Love the way you used the mop-up piece in such beautiful summer colours! I really like the small squares with the faint stamping behind the butterflies.
