Butterflies in Pink against Blue Sky

Glad they are not REAL spiders!  Ugh...  My son had to dispatch two big ones that were webbing around in the rafters of my front porch recently.  One of them made such a stout web that when I unwittingly brushed against one of its "guy wires", I thought I had bumped a small gauge extension cord!!  Imagine my horror when I realized what I had touched and how big its occupant was!!  Yeeeeech!!!  =:o

Hi, Friends.......

I am here with a pair of butterfly cards to share with you today. Even though bugs and crawlies of all kinds give me the creeps in real life, I love making pretty butterfly cards. Somehow, they are NOT the same thing! lol....  Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge this time around is open for four weeks , instead of the usual two, so that gives everyone a nice chance to participate.....even me!! :) (It closes Aug.28th at her time of "something o'clock" which means a completely different time to most of the world, so you better just check for yourself...hehehe!)

For these two cards, I'm letting some bright pink/fuchsia floral patterned vinyl wall sticker butterflies from the dollar store flutter around in my blue sky (from my pile of watercolor marker refill water backgrounds). I applied my stickers to a large sheet of my background and then die cut the panels for a nice finished stitched look around the edges. (I was so proud of myself for using the rest of this sheet of stickers from my butterfly box...until I was rooting around in there later and found three more unused sheets!! Ha. Another day....another day.....)

Here's the second card in this light and airy butterfly set:

Products used include:
Dollar store vinyl wall stickers
Technique Tuesday - You Did It stamp set
Versafine ink in Onxy Black
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Canson - Mixed Media Paper Spiral Bound Notebook

Hope you like this pretty set of fast and easy cards! Thank you for stopping by.
