Best Wishes & a Butterfly

 Hello, Dear Friends!  I'm popping in to wish a friend Happy Birthday, it's already mailed and received (a true miracle she got it early), especially since ours takes about 4-7 days any more and that's within the continental US!


Stamped, heat embossed, water colored, stamped with a sentiment, and then die cut the 2-layer butterflies for the top, and double matted everything.  The bottom layer of the butterfly is actually a "smooshed" panel to add a little fun, and the top layer is a light blue vellum.  A closer look below might help...


As for the color choices, this too was a color challenge (bright pink, light turquoise and black) but for the life of me I can't remember where!  Oh well, I'm thankful for the inspiration anyway...  Since this is water colored, and fits the theme over at CAS MixUp - Flight, it'll be heading that way next, I just  hope there's enough open space.  


Supplies:
   SSS - Spring Flowers stamp, Chrissy & Leanna Buatterfly dies
   PB - Simple Stackers die

Thank you, have a wonderful day and hopefully your heat isn't as hot as ours has been lately!

Hugs,
TK

I steer away from using the words SMOOSH and Butterfly in the same sentence! but it sure does make for a gorgeous paper-Papillon! Such a wonderful way to send birthday wishes, TK! Such a pretty place to perch!

Beautiful card, TK. I love how the outside border matches the butterfly, which is lovely with the vellum overlay.

How pretty. The colors are so bright and cheery. The heat embossing works really well for the water coloring.
