Butterfly Thank You


 I recently had my Memory Box Darla and Vivienne butterfly dies out to have a play with them and this is one of a few cards I made. I used a brand new Creative Expressions Daisy Doo stencil to create the panel on the right, adding some tiny black dots to the flower centers with a black marker. The black border was done with a MFT notched border die and I added a thin strip of black to the other side of the polka dot panel. The sentiment panel was stamped with a Lawn Fawn thank you, and die cut with a Lil Inker die to finish this card.

Sharing with the following challenges:

The Allsorts Challenge week #782 - A/G or a Blast from the Past


The NBUS Challenge #62 - Use Something New (stencil)

Thanks so much for stopping by and as always, I wish each and every one of you the best possible day.

Agree with Sarn that it's a very pretty card and the soft peachy colours very pleasing on the eye.

So sweet! I love the little flowers you have stenciled, but the butterfly is the main event in this show!

Very striking card with the peach and black. I paper pieced this butterfly after I saw you do it, was fun and cute, does take some patience too!

Love the colors, Carol! I just moved some things around (again!!) and came across these old butterfly dies, which are still relevant and beautiful today! I love how you added the sweet flower stencil to the right and balanced the composition with the black strip.

I like how you say, "keep smiling," my friend! And keep well! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

This butterfly duo is one of my favourite too and love so much the colours combo you choose! The beautiful stencilling is just adorable with the tiny black dots and the notched border in the centre has been a great choice to catch the eyes! A great design, clean and effective as always!
Have yourself the best day possible, dear friend!! BIG hugs!

Your use of the Memory Box Darla and Vivienne butterfly dies adds such elegance to the card, especially paired with the brand new Creative Expressions Daisy Doo stencil for the floral panel. The attention to detail, from the tiny black dots on the flower centers to the MFT notched border die and Lawn Fawn thank you sentiment, creates a beautifully cohesive design.
