Hi, Friends.....
I am back with another butterfly card for Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge with the prompts of Butterfly + G is for Glitter and/or G is for Grape. Do you love purple like I do? Oh, yum! What a gorgeous color!!! And glitter? Oh, I am in raptures!! (I'll be sweeping this stuff up for the next 6 months! Ha.)
I also used the fabulous Week 1 Viva la Verve sketch for March. I just LOVE this sketch! It's perfect for using scraps......which I did! All the papers I used for this card were from my scrap bag. Yay!!!
I used my Verve - Scripture Medley 2 stamp set for the lovely scripture verse, which I stamped with Altenew Crisp Dye Ink in Deep Iris.
I die cut my square panels with my My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Square STAX die set and used some shiny purple butterfly stickers that I might have possibly...um...errr..."borrowed" from my 5-year old granddaughter! lol... (Please tell me I am not the only one who absconds with craft supplies from the youngsters! Ha.) The tips of the wings of the upper butterfly were blue, instead of green, so I used an lime-green ultra-fine Sharpie to make it green. It was still a bit too emerald, so I colored over it again with yellow. I like this color much better for my card.
I made a second card just like the first with shiny silver butterfly confetti pieces, instead of the purple butterfly stickers. Which do you like better? I think I like the purple butterflies better.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I appreciate you taking time from your busy day to stop by. It means a lot to me!! Have a lovely week!

I'm sure that your granddaughter is more than proud to see her sparkly butterfly stickers perched on such a beautiful card! LOVE the embossed design on that pearly purple paper (as I try to resist adding, "people eater" to the phrase). Green and purple are one of my favorite combos when it comes to using purple, and this bright green is so spring-like and pretty! I do prefer the purple butterflies as well, but both are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love both cards Janis! Sits firmly on the fence here :) Wonderful design and the green and purple mix go together so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground :)

A lovely card Janis. The colours look beautiful together and that is a super sketch. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteThe embossed piece of purple paper withe shimmer and glitter is perfectly pleasing to the eye. I like both cards but prefer the purple butterflies IF I had to choose. Thank you so much for entering our 221st challenge. We are always delighted to see your entries and appreciate your inspirational creativity.

A very nice card.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
WoW, that embossed and glittery side bar is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love that scripture! Did you know that in the original language, the word translated 'substance' was commonly used in business documents, carrying the idea of future possession and can also be translated title-deed... if a property has been deeded to you, it's guaranteed that it will be yours. So, when we have faith, we are certain to possess the spiritual promises we hope for... That keeps me going when things get tough! Thanks for the lovely reminder!!
Such a pretty card! Love all the texture and vibrant color. Thanks for playing along with Viva la Verve!
