Buttons and Bows

Hi everyone!

I thought I would try out a different Blog Design called Dynamic.  It allows you to see more and hopefully find what you are looking for more easily.



Please let me know what you think of the change.  COMMENT!!  Is it helpful?  Do you like the original blog style better?

Here is a cute little card that I sent my dad.  I had some leftover papers that I just couldn't throw away so ....I made a card!

Close Up!

Hope you liked it!

Imagine Butterfly Card

I think that this weekend my mind was on butterflies subconsciously.  It seems that both my cards have butterflies as part of the card!

Today's card is a bit more mainstream.

I started out with a lavender/lilac card base (Bazzill of course).  I layered coordinating patterned papers from K&Company. The center section is a layer (1 inch) of brown patterned paper and then a K&Company border that has glitter on it.  I added the word IMAGINE to the bottom. (I have had these acrylic words for a while and have been trying to find ways of using them.)

I love Stardream papers.  They shimmer and glisten and come in lots of colors.  My butterflies are made out of lilac and pink stardream paper.  I punched out the butterfly design in each colors.  I placed the dark lilac as the base and glued the center of the pink butterfly to the lilac center.  I let this dry and then glued the lilac wings down to my card (I didnt put glue in the center, just the wings. This way I didnt have to worry about glue showing.)  I added a lilac jewel to the center of each butterfly.

 Close Up!

I did try to place the jewel toward the top of the butterfly and not exactly in the middle.

I hope that you liked this card!  If you did, leave a comment!

Thanks for your time and come back soon!
