Butterflies Are Free To Fly

Remember that oldie? 

You'll thank me later when you hear yourself singing it.....all day long.  You're Welcome!  lol

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges:  2 at Stamp TV; Just Because and Friday Funday, Brick, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes With 1 Die, and Penny Black, One For The Girls.

 
I had a lot of fun making this card....thanks Karen!  I used several of the Stamp TV Stamp Kits by Gina K Designs; Petals & Wings, Shabby Spring and Vintage Chic.  After 'scoring' all of my bricks I stamped the 'linen' image twice and then using masking tape and Tempting Turquoise ink I added several strips to create a warn look, I also used that technique on the Lacy Circles die cut, by Spellbinders.  Stamped the leaves several times in Always Artichoke ink and created my vine.

 
I stamped the butterfly image once on the die cut, then again which was fussy cut out and colored with Copic Markers and hi-lighted with a Wink Of Stella Clear Pen.  The butterfly is only adhered in the center, letting me crease the wings up to add dimension.  All layered on top of another die cut, Scalloped Circles also by Spellbinders.  Traditional Stitched Tag stamped with sentiment.  Gingham Ribbon, Turquoise Button and Jute Twine for accents.

 
Thanks so much for coming by, I love the company!
 
Enjoy~~
