Fluttering By To Say Thank You



Woot! I am here, today, with some awesome news! I've been accepted as part of the design team for Crafts Galore Encore! I've been out of the design team world, for awhile, due to having been taking care of my husband for the past several months.  I'm thrilled to be back, though, and so happy to have been accepted into a team that is super nice! Thank you, Crafts Galore Encore, for allowing me to join you!

Those of you not familiar with the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge, you should really check it out! We're a monthly challenge blog and the theme is always Anything Goes, so you can create anything your little heart desires, to link up with us! Of course, there's a prize - A $10 gift certificate to Fred She Said up for grabs and you could even be selected as one of the Design Team favorites! We'll be picking 5 favorites! So, what are you waiting for?! Come on over to Crafts Galore Encore and link up your creations for a chance to win!

Now that's out of the way, let's talk about my card!

For my card today, I've used the Marigolds and Morpho Digi set, from Fred She Said. Even though they're Marigolds, I went with colors that tickled my fancy, when coloring.  The images were colored with Promarkers. The "wild"  black and white paper is from my stash. I think it makes for a "wildly striking effect, with this image and colors I chose. I fussy cute all the images and I just love the way they turned out.  The butterflies were attached with foam tape, for added dimension.  I chose a beautiful silver and black ribbon to make a handmade bow, for embellishing the top of the frame.  Black pearls were added in the top left corner. It's difficult to see in the phot, but I used a clear star gelly roll pen to add glitter and sparkle to the center butterfly.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
