Guest Designer - Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge

Kind of my same reaction when I saw the Challenge theme for this Guest Design spot!!  lol...

Hi, Friends.....

I am delighted to be a Guest Designer for Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge this fortnight. The theme this time around is Butterfly/ies plus H is for Handwritten and/or the Color Lemon. Mrs. A would like us to HANDWRITE our sentiment this time. EEEEK!!!  (You can just choose the color option to go with your butterfly, but where's the fun in that???)

As I suggested in the caption of the above cat funny, my tail puffed out a little bit when I saw the theme. One of the main reasons I rubber stamp is so I won't HAVE to hand-write OR draw!! lol.... But this is what makes challenges so much fun, right? So be a sport and join in, won't you? My goodness....I'm sure your handwriting is much nicer than mine, so I promise you it will all be lovely.

I decided to team the Lemon color portion of this challenge with some bright turquoise to make a bright and happy combo. After trying to get away with a simple Hello to handwrite, I realized my card really wanted me to include sunshine to go with this pretty lemon color. 

I practiced several times with wording and then made some faint (erasable) pencil lines to guide me as I tried to make my sentiment panel. Arrghh...rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!! Finally...I got tired of trying to stay in my own lines and just scrawled it out. That's what you see above. It's just my very real and very own uninspiring handwriting. lol.... I know YOU can do much better than this!!! :)

Supplies used include:
Dollar store butterfly
Doodlebug - Mini Doilies
Scraps of cardstock from stash
Lace seam binding from stash
Ultra-fine Sharpie for sentiment

Thank you, Mrs. A, for inviting me to Guest Design.  I hope all of you readers enjoyed my card today. Please join the rest of us over at Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge. I would love to admire your handwriting!!! :)
