Sunshine and Blue Skies Challenge, FLLCJUN10

As Flourishes  readies to unveil new stamps this week, this great stamp company is hosting a color challenge--Sunshine and Blue Skies.  Create a card using any combination of blue and yellow, and you have a chance to win the entire June release!
The paper, the butterfly, and the sentiment are just right for this  fanciful summery card.

2. Cut 3 strips of patterned paper and sew onto a piece of Lemon Tart cardstock.
3. Die cut label and stamp sentiment from Pure Poppy stamp set with London Fog ink. Thread with  lace trim and attach to piece.
4. Attach piece to card base.
5. Stamp butterfly from Fanciful Flourishes with blue ink on Lemon Tart cs,cut out, attach with dimension tape.  Place tape only in the middle of butterfly and gently lift wings.

Do you think the bird is calling out a warning about the giant mutant butterfly?

  7. Cammie you sly gal you! See? This is why it pays to read through an entire post. Had me laughing and as usual, the family thinks I'm nuts cracking up holding my laptop. I think I saw that butterfly hitting up on our outside light last night. . .
