I woke up the other day and said to Tracy, “I had an idea for a card for Marcy. I should get up and make it.” Here it is.
But there’s a story here, too. The same day I made this card my BIL posted a message on Caring Bridge that Mercy was pretty frustrated with her slow progress after extensive chemotherapy. Her blood count has been slow to recover as well as her energy, so she’s still in the hospital. He told her she should think of herself as a butterfly still in the cocoon, building its strength for its later flight! Such serendipity doesn’t happen often. I hope this card brightens her day!
Cardstock: Ripe Avocado & Vintage Cream (PTI), turquoise from stash; stamps: Turning a New Leaf, Birds of a Feather, & Butterfly Dreams (PTI); Twinkling H2Os were used to color the butterfly.
you’ve combined my favorite symbol (butterfly) with my absolute favorite color scheme (aqua and green) – the card is absolutely gorgeous and I do hope it brighten’s her day – sure would mine!
LOVE your card! The colors work so well together and the butterfly is gorgeous! Hope Mercy recovers soon!
It certainly will brighten her day – it is lovely Karen 🙂
It’s beautiful! Love the colors and the butterfly. Hope your friend gets better soon.

The card is beautiful Karen and is sure to help Mercy get through the day. Hope she picks up a bit soon.
A lovely thought. I’m sure it will brighten her day and put a smile on her face.
It was a great idea and worth getting up for 🙂 And how perfect was the circumstance? Wishing your friend well xx
Those H2Os have really made it luminous! With best wishes for your friend, and hoping she really connects with your card …
