My card didn't start out looking anything like it does now....I'm not even sure what I was doing, but I think I started to stamp something and them messed it up (shocking, isn't it!) and then just started going with it from there. The butterfly image is from Strength and Hope and the sentiment from Whimsical Words - both from SU. If you'll notice, the right wing of that butterfly has the tip chopped off.....um...the image is not like that but when I stamped it, it somehow got chopped - the only good thing is that all three image are chopped! LOL! But, the bottom line is, how many times have you ever seen a perfect butterfly anyway!! The lace is from one of my thrift store trips....just never know what you'll find in those places.
We've got company coming tomorrow so I'll be away for the computer until Sunday.
BUT, I really do have a very FUN-NY Friday posted for Friday - so beware......
Thanks for stopping by..........and be sure and check out the Belli Challenge.

This is so pretty Lynn and I didn't even notice the missing part until you mentioned it. Love the fading technique - it's a very elegant card.
ReplyDeleteSTUNNER!!! Everyone thing about this card is divine including the ribbon. The chopped off wing would have never shown unless you did not mention it...
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment, so comforting, Lynn.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty Lynn!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect, imperfect butterfly, Lynn. Usually if you get a close look at the real thing, they're kinda beat up looking. Love that lace too.
ReplyDeleteLynn, I never would have noticed the butterfly's wing being cut off! Love the effect of the stamped off images and your lace is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is just as lovely as can be Lynn! I love the creative stamping of that butterfly image!

Lynn this is just gorgeous. I love the way you have stamped the butterfly and the sentiment is just fabulous.
