Love is Like a Butterfly

Today's card is one that I made for this week's MTME Pretty Patterns sketch - we are on week 18 already!  I love the sentiment, "Love is like a butterfly - it goes where it pleases and pleases whereever it goes."  My daughter loved butterflies and told me that she would send me butterflies from heaven so now I think of her every time I see one.

The butterflies on this card are from Tending the Garden digi set.

I took the butterfly and flipped it and saved it as a separate image so I can print them up going in either direction.  I then colored them with copics and cut them out.

The sentiment is from Chase Your Dreams digi set.  I cut it out using Spellbinders Beaded Ovals and sponged the openings using 'spun sugar' distressed ink.

I used paper from the following digi paper packs: Serenity, Cheerful Chirps and Fresh Flowers. 

I used Borders, Fanciful Flourishes by Cheery Lynn Designs and Magnolia DooHickeys Leaf and Swirls for the white swirls and leaves. 

The flowers were made using My Favorite Things Dienamics Mini Rolled Roses.  I love making these cute little flowers.

Here's this week's sketch - I hope you will play along!

My Time Made Easy ~ May 15 release

I'm so excited about My Time Made Easy's release.  Isn't this the sweeties image?  I LOVE butterflies and Amber sure is out to catch some! I used the new digi image Chase Your Dreams.

I used the color scheme from Pretty Palette #8.  I'm a little late to actually enter that challenge but I loved the color scheme so I went with it.  The Pretty Palette #9 is up and just as great!     The paper is also from MTME -  Wistful Wonder and Serenity.

This is the first ribbon rose I've made this way.  I saw the pleated ribbon at the scrapbooking store recently and just had to have it.  It's a little poofy but I'll get the hang of it.

 

I used Martha Stewart punches for the butterflies and of course I used Spellbinders to accentuate the image.  Other challenges: SCS sketch challenge and Papertake Weekly - use punches.  Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to go see the full release.
