Creativity on the Square

Well, I got a lot accomplished yesterday. Car repaired, emission inspection complete, car tag purchased, grocery store trip, supper cooked, and then finally a trip to the pool with the family followed up with a run over to Pasta Bella to share some great desserts. I worked on this card this morning and after starting and rejecting quite a few ideas, I finally finished this card for the
Flutter By Wednesday challenge.

Green paper - Summer Garden from Recollections
striped paper- Bold Basics from Recollections
For the butterflies, I first stamped them on the white cardstock using "Sapphire" #100 from Marvy Le Plume II. Then I stamped them again on a separate sheet, colored them with watercolor pencils "Blossom" from Recollections and "Lavender" from General's Kimberly. After a waterbrush wash, I cut them out and attached with thick double-sided adhesive. I used the double-sided adhesive to also attached the plaid and white paper and the sentiment. The sentiment was created in Photoshop and the circles were purchased on a clearance sale!
