Just a quickie to share this card I made tonight for the Mojo Monday challenge. I picked up this Martha Steward hydrangea punch on clearance yesterday for $4 and just had to play with it! I colored the front and back of each petal, then curled them with the end of a pen and glued them to a circle. FUN!
Now I know I just said I was done with butterflies for a while, but this card seemed to need more than an egg and a flower so I used this new Tim Holtz butterfly to finish it off. The gorgeous sentiment is Verve and I have been waiting about six months to use it! Lovely! I pulled out some ten year old throwback Basic Grey paper for my background. Awe, I think I used this to make birth announcements forever ago! SWEET! Thanks for looking again tonight. Hugs to all!

Wonderful card Autumn - and never worry about too many butterflies - they are so often the perfect accent on a card :-).

Gawjuss! Yes: BG. Yes please: Martha + Tim. Add some dyed ribbon (check!) and how can you even go wrong? You're the bomb, and I think we share part of a brain.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and seeing my friendship/bird card... Not my fave make, but I love the quote. Thanks for being a bloggy friend! :-)
