The Master’s Butterfly

The challenge at Flutter By Wednesday this week was set by the sweet Kim. She would like everyone to use their favorite quote on their card this week, as well as a fairy or butterfly. If you would like to play along with the Flutter By Wednesday challenge, you can go check out all of the other lovely DT blogs by clicking on their links on the right sidebar and then going to Danni’s Dreams to link up your card. Here’s my take on the challenge.

09-08-26 (3) The beautiful butterfly fairy is a digi stamp from Sketching Stamper. The way I painted her, she turned out looking like she has a huge bow tied around her shoulders. It just didn’t go as planed but I didn’t have time to start over. Also, the DP does match the cardstock, it just doesn’t look like it in the picture. I’m not too happy with it this time but we just can’t make winners every time. Not me anyway!

Here’s a side view so you can see the dimension in the butterflies and matting.

And lest you don’t think I followed the challenge, I put my quote on the inside. Since I love butterflies so much, I have a lot of favorite butterfly quotes but this one came to mind when I saw this image with the butterfly still partially in her cocoon.

09-08-26 It says “What the caterpillar calls the end, the master calls a butterfly.” by Richard Bach. It is computer generated.

The DP is from Provo Craft and the butterfly is a cut from the Cricut Calligraphy cartridge. The sketch is from Sunday Sketch and Stamp and the Stamptacular Sunday challenge is to use something 3-d on your card.

Blessings,

Christine

Wow Christine, what a great card! You decorated so much of it and it looks wonderful! The fairy on the front is so pretty and I like that the quote is on the inside along with the pretty paper! Great job with the challenge this week!

Christine love how you did the inside of your card. I always hate it when I have a great idea in my head but it does not transfer as well as I planned to paper from my idea in my head!!!

No matter how you planned it, this card still turned out very pretty!!!

Great job on this!!!

Your butterfly fairy looks all wrapped up like coming out of her cacoon! I love that quote - I have two BF quotes and that is one of them!

Christine, I love the inside of your card!! And, I think the front is awesome!! I understand when a card doesn't come out the way you imagine it, but sometimes it may surprise you!!
