Papers: My minds eye- Lost and Found Portobello Road; K and Co- Wild Saffron
Stamps: House Mouse Inside sentiment; Hot of the Press Stitches and Computer generated front of card sentiment; LOTV Pretty Bouquet

Thank you for looking!

Hi Guys. Well I said I would try to get a post on Monday and here it is on Thursday. So sorry. I can’t even tell you all the work we have put into our home recently. Not to mention working full-time. whew.. thank you guys for your patience.

Anyway, last night I set out to make an Easter card with the image I had colored. Have you ever had a card that just wouldn’t come together? I thought I had a sketch, I thought I had picked out patterned papers but I just couldn’t make it work. I tried different papers. Finally, I gave up, threw out everything but the image and started over. It came together pretty quickly after that. The butterfly was found on my desk. I had cut it out to try out my new die from Cheery Lynn Designs. It was the perfect final touch. I used diamond stickles to add the extra punch. I am pretty pleased with the results.
