Butterfly Thanks

After all the rain we had last month, the flowers are blooming and the butterflies are out in full force.  I don't think I've ever seen a solid lavender one before but I'm sure they exist somewhere.

I used an image from Deedee's Digi's called Fluttering By.  This set of stamps comes with a couple of images and some wonderful sentiments.  It also comes in the outline version - like I used here - and also in the pre-colored version.  I colored this with Copics, framed it out with several dies, and then mounted it against some patterned paper that I found in my stash.  The sentiment is also from Deedee's Digis but from a different set of images.

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:  Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets), Brown Sugar (in the garden), and Scribbles and Scraps (anything goes).

Thanks for stopping by......

    What a beautiful card Lynn! I love the beautiful pastel colors used in this card. You colored the flower and butterfly perfectly, I really thought at first look that you used the precolored image! Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda

    This is so darling, Lynn! I don't care if there are real lavender butterflies or not; there should be and this one is gorgeous. :-D I'm working on some of Deedee's bugs but I doubt if I'll have them finished before this weekend. I started, then set them aside to finish other projects, and now you've inspired me to get them finished. Thanks, my friend.

    I'm always so jealous of designers who can do pastel well. And you certainly just proved that you can. Ah-mazingly soft and so adorable!
