It’s been awhile since I’ve participated in a challenge despite my intention to get to at least one each week. This week I have a trio of butterfly cards that I made Sunday night. The pink ones will get entered in the Time Out Challenge #81.
Every year on our way to Longboat Key, we make a stop in St. Petersburg, Florida for lunch at the Red Mesa Catina, and a shopping trip for me at Whim-so-Doodle. I wish I had access to a store like this in our area, although it’s probably best for my budget that I don’t! One of my purchases this year was a set of paper butterflies by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper. They were lying on my table, and I pulled out a narrow roll of Washi tape and some card stock, and pretty quickly had three birthday cards ready for May birthdays.
The “celebrate” die is from Papertrey Ink’s “Good Times.” That and a few sequins and the cards were done.
I was lucky enough to borrow a few new Papertrey Ink stamps from a friend, so hope to get some more crafting in this week along with the #100DayProject, some Project Life pages, and assignments for two online classes. Both of the agencies for whom I volunteer are closed this week for spring break, so I’ve got some extra time (if I stay home long enough to use it!)
Simple but effective – the middle one is especially nice.
Love your cards Karen and also the sketch you drew based on them 😉
Very pretty cards. I love butterflies. I have never been to St. Petersburg. Maybe someday, then I can visit Whim-so-doodle. Sounds fun.
They’re lovely! We have no papercrafting stores here, which is a good thing most of the time, given my behaviour in a yarn store.
All these cards look so fesh and elegant! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!
Stunning trio of cards. So glad that you had a chance to play along with us. I love all those butterflies. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
