Thinking of You


 This card was made with some beautiful SU! Wonderful World papers a thoughtful friend shared with me recently. I was inspired by this design for using designer papers to create my card, and I'm happy with the way it turned out. I used a MB pair of Vivienne and Darla butterfly dies along with a MFT stitched circle die for the image panel. The sentiment was done with an Elizabeth Craft designs die. This reminds me of spring with the butterfly and spring floral papers! I long for the warmer weather......until it gets too hot and then I'll long for the colder temps again 😉

I'll share this card with the following challenges:

Tic Tac Toe Challenge 201- I used the far right vertical of butterfly, patterned paper, and floral


Cards 4 Galz #195 - spring flowers





Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a happy crafty day!

Carol

Lovely choice of background papers and a beautiful butterfly. I'd been thinking I'd like the weather to be warmer then got to wondering how long before I was just wishing it would cool down 🤣🤣

Oh Carol, this card looks absolutely amazing!!! The clean design, the papers, the colours and the fabulous double butterfly on the white circle... LOVE so much any single detail!!! It's elegant, feminine and SO sweet! Pinned! And sooner or later I would like try to CASeing it! :) Very inspiring!!
I love Spring, it's my favourite season. But also Summer. I don't like Winter and cold weather (especially now with the heating bill's going through the roof!)
Big hugs dear friend! Enjoy the coming cool weather, the sun, flowers and butterflies!

So pretty, Carol!!! I love the panels and that gorgeous paper but your butterfly steals the show on this! Love the colors and all the diecuts you used. Absolutely beautiful, my friend! As far as the weather goes...I agree with you 100%! It's a vicious cycle wanting warm weather then it gets too stinkin hot and we're wishing for cooler weather. Wouldn't it be nice if it would stay in the 60's-70's all day every day?! Yea I know, not ever gonna happen BUT one can wish! LOL TFS this beauty! Have a wonderful day! :)

Oh this is gorgeous papers by SU Carol! I love the soft muted colors and patterns. It looks so beautiful together on the little rectangles-a great design and I must keep this idea in my head! Your butterfly is gorgeous in the center. A fabulous thinking of you card!!! I think we are all like that Carol, long for warm days and then when it gets too hot, we complain and long for cooler days. We are never happy are we?! We just want perfect weather all the time, right?!! Hugs, Brenda
