I decided to send a card to a lady at our church.  She wears many hats (choir director, bell choir player, head of knottie ladies...ect)  and definitely deserves some thanks!

I made a version of this card before.  You can see it in this post. It is inspired by a beautiful card by Maile Belles Here.

PTI Make it Monday #210 and Color Throwdown 340

Lizzie Jones posted a wonderful video for the latest Make it Monday challenge for Papertrey Ink.  It involves using vellum to soften vibrant patterns.  You can check out the video here. 

I got my color scheme from the latest Color Throwdown #340.  I just love this color combo.  It makes me eager to plant flowers and fully embrace Spring!

Maile Belles did a wonderful card using PTI's Beautiful Butterflies you can see it here.   I just knew it would be the perfect background for this challenge.

I marvel at Maile's talent!  I had her card to use for placement of the butterflies but I still had problems developing a free flowing pattern.  I didn't have any small hearts so I used the asterisk type flower from PTI's Honey Bees to fill in the spaces.  I used PTI's Fillable Frame #5 die as my vellum accent.  I embossed in black a sentiment from PTI's Think Big Favorites #2.  Some asterick type stitching (used my sew easy) in pink finishes off the card.  Oh and I don't have the stamp layer to add decorations to the butterflies so I just hand did the accents using Copics.

Thanks for stopping by!  Please come again!  Enjoy your weekend!
