I'm back with my 2nd post today. Scroll down for some exciting news on the previous post. The Memory Box butterflies were die cut with pearl white and black card stock and layered on a SNSS scalloped border die, as well as a SB labels 18 die. The ribbon was from my stash. For the background, I stamped some daffodil cardstock with a SU! retired weathered stamp in Versmark, then heat embossed it with white pearl ep. The sentiment is from MFP, and the candi dots are from SU! in basic grey. I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketch #251 - I followed their sketch
Cards in Envy - Winged Things (card must fit an A2 envelope with no thick embellishments)
Shopping our Stash #153 - Background Check (stamp your background)
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
The Card Concept #11 - a Color Challenge to use black, yellow, white and grey
Thanks for stopping by again and I hope your Friday is going well!

Both are sensational! Love the colors on that first one and the butterfly die is lovely. Fantastic way to do the background with the white embossing powder too.
The second - a CAS beauty!! Love that embossing folder you used and the pink butterflies are so pretty with it.
Two great cards.

YOu have been fluttering around your craft room today making all sorts of beautiful cards. These two card is exceptionally nice. I love them both, but that second one with the embossing I would have to say is my favorite. Have a great evening.
OMGoodness, you have made two beautiful cards! First I was oohhing and ahhhing over the first one and then I saw the second one. I love, love, love the second one! There is just something about butterflies that I love. Almost as much as kitties LOL. Your die-cuts are just beautiful! And that embossing folder - so elegant! Adding to my wish list!
A beautifully elegant butterfly . I love the EF and the additional pink butterflies over the top. Thank you for fluttering by and playing for fun. Hugs Mrs A. (Butterfly challenge).
