While purging more of my huge crafty stash, I came across a pack of colorful matching cardstock and envelopes I purchased at Michaels perhaps a decade ago and decided it was high time to use them. There are colors of green, blue, pink, and lavender and since purple is my favorite color I pulled out some purple snippets and made this patchwork design card. The sentiment is a very old (r) SU! image stamped in Grape Jelly ink and die-cut with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die. The little butterfly was done with a punch and I added 3 tiny lavender gemstones to the body and hand-drew the antennae with a black marker.
I already dropped this in the mail to someone who is fighting a health issue and wanted her to know I'm thinking of her and sending up prayers.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great Tuesday!

I LOVE the design of this Carol! So pretty too with the butterfly and all the lavender paper. Like how the butterfly matches the butterfly paper. Beautiful card and I know she'll love it.

Oh wow this design is really beautiful Carol! I so love all of the purple shades of this, but I also love your use of making a layout design with all of those different pattens! I can never make my mixing of patterns look right! I need to sit down with you to learn! She will love this card!
This is gorgeous, love the colours! Hugs, Valerie

What a super way to use your DP's Carol, so nice to have everything so complimentary and lilacs are so pleasing on the eye.

Another wonderful card! Beautiful colors and sweet butterfly!
Gorgeous purple papers on this wonderful card. Another great card with this layout.
I love both of these and the way you pieced them together. I don't think I would ever figure out how to do that. I would love to know the measurements of these pieces. What a wonderful way to use your papers and make beautiful cards.
How VERY beautiful Carol, I love the papers and the wonderful design.

Another great card design to use up those snippets that we all have lying around Carol! I love the ones you have used here, they all work so well together. I'm so sorry that someone is battling health issues, it seems so many of us are doing just that. Hugs, Brenda
