Another butterfly and sentiment combination, inspired by two challenges: first, Seize the Sketch #17 for the layout,
and second, Butterfly Challenge #4: Spring Time at Last, where our charming hostess, Mrs. A, has invited us to use yellow, in some fashion, on our cards.
My Just a Note butterfly card...
In a rather interesting twist of 'quirkiness', I was rummaging through my inks (hahahaha..if you can call sorting through 16 mini inks 'rummaging'), housed in their Swiffer container, and what should my wandering eye spy but three little pink embellishments, obviously dislodged from their proper packaging. Perfect timing to find those sweet gems and also a sign that some major re-organizing/straightening up is required when I get back. How they landed in there, who knows...messy me!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!
Your card is SOOO pretty,Carol!! Of course i am LOVING the butterflies,and how perfect to find these little gems!! They are a beautiful touch on the butterflies!!!

Wow! So springy! Fabulous card!! Love how you did the sketch! And the butterflies are so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI love this little gem of a note card.(sorry couldn't resist). Colours are fab. The yellow with the pink looks so zingy. Just perfect. Thank you for fluttering by #4. Hugs Mrs A. (butterfly challenge).
ReplyDeleteConsidering that you are crafting with limited supplies, having inks that are a perfect match to the DP is definitely a 'fist pump' moment! THEN, to find some wee bits of cling-on blings that also are a perfect match calls for nothing less than a double fist pump! Absolutely love this card...my new #1 Favorite Carol card :)
ReplyDeleteI adore butterflies and these are darling. Great layout too :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!!!!!!! Amazing, loving this!!!
ReplyDeleteThose pesky gems get everywhere! I find them on my slippers, on the kitchen floor...just everywhere! But at least they came in useful here. This would be great for our challenge at TIME OUT xx
ReplyDeleteLoving that eclectic mix of papers... something so funky and groovy about it. Add those butterflies and I'm thinking 70s magic! Fabby card, CM.
