Embellish Chevron Color Trends Challenge

Gorgeous color combo! 

My fun sketch is from CardPatterns Sketch 161

I may not be able to golf, but I can make a card for someone who does.

I find that satisfying. ;)

~A Butterfly~

I have such beautiful paper to work with since receiving the generous prize from Linda via Savannah (World Card Making Day Hop).

What a blessing!

I just had to cut out the butterfly from the K&Company SW Nature pad. 

 I touched it up with a Sakura Gelly Roll and "redid" the antennae with skinny strips that I quilled.

I paired it with the sentiment from Flourishes "He is Risen".

 

Some little leaves from Flourishes "Tiny Flowers and Tags" are stamped in a window I cut out.

 Tammy is hosting Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #158.

The challenge is country comfort.

I am a city girl at heart, but have lived in the country now for almost 4 years.

When I think of the country, I think of INSECTS!

Butterflies are the prettiest. ;)  

I snuck in the leaves because we have a lot of those too.

I saw all these colors in the butterfly and paper!

 DYSU Challenge #61:Things With Wings.

Nothing else to share about this card except that I LOVE when I can bust out my fringe scissors. 

It was one of those "gadget" buys that I purchased before I was even a card maker. 

It sat on my shelf, unopened for 6 months or so-I didn't know where to apply it!

It always feels GREAT when I use it and fit it in somewhere.

Thank you for stopping by.

~A Note Of Thanks~

I wanted to make a "note" for Ren-Yi.

Girlfriend is so busy, but still took the time to mail a stamp I won at her blog. ;)

I used my oldie but goodie Sizzix embossing folder to make this simple card.

My Gelly Roll "X"s helped the treble clef stand out a bit.

Reflections of God

FYI Challenge #11 inspired me to make a reflection card.

I stamped my image on craft foil (it was secondhand, so I don't know where you buy it...but it looks and feels like kitchen foil).

I wanted the gorgeous landscape to be seen as a reflection of God.

The sentiment is perfect, don't you think?

Here is FYI's inspirational photo

I am pleased that this card materialized pretty close to how I envisioned it.

Thank you for taking the time to look and read. ;)
