Flower Garden Fancy

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

I had a few minutes to try out a new coverplate die that I got for Christmas.


It cut really well and it makes for a quick card.

Narelle's sketch was still fresh in my mind from the last Freshly Made Sketches
and it worked beautifully to let this die cut show through.

I found this butterfly already cut out and ready to find a place to perch.
It was cut from a piece of smooshed background.

A couple of label die cuts, a quick stamping and some glue and
it was done.

Challenges:
Just Us Girls #804 - Die Week-Use a coverplate die
NBUS #82 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Triple B - Birds, Butterflies & Blooms - Butterfly (I didn't go by the photo, but isn't it pretty?)

 



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Bouquet of Thanks (MFT)
Ink:   Versafine Onyx Black
Paper:  Soft Seafoam, Neenah Solar White, Watercolor
Other:  Flower Garden Fancy Coverplate Die (HA), Stitched Butterfly Trio (PS), Decorative Sentiment Dies (EMD-Emily Moore Designs)


Enjoy!

That flowery coverplate makes a great place for your butterfly to land, Bonnie, and I love the label dies you used for a sentiment band. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

Wow! What a great coverplate, and your use of FMS's sketch made an absolutely wonderful card, Bonnie.

I love a 10-minute card idea, Bon, so thank you for that! You got to use new schtuff, older schtuff, schtuff waiting "on deck" to be called to serve, and voila, a gorgeous card! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Dolly

It's a very feminine card, and looking at it makes me feel like spring is already behind winter, urging it to leave. It's a light at the end of winter's dark tunnel. Thank you for inspiring my hope for spring's speedy arrival.
hugs,
