Hi, Friends.......
Do you ever have one of those times when you know you have a particular piece of patterned paper or perhaps a certain embellishment in your stash....somewhere...but where???? That happened for me while trying to make this card.
I knew I had a whimsical piece of patterned paper with a green sky (which I think is a little odd, but whatever!), a butterfly, and brightly colored flowers in pink and yellow. But WHERE could it be???? I also knew I had a Doodlebug kite sticker (which I easily located...amazingly) that miiiiiiiiiiiiiight match said patterned paper...if I could ever find it.
A much longer search than I wish to admit ensued as I rummaged through every tub and shelf of paper I own looking for this sheet that I could have sworn I had seen recently. Turned out that I had put it in my green "trimmed-to-A2-size-and-ready-to-use" backgrounds so it would be EASILY AVAILABLE!!! Hahahahaha.....so much for that system of organization!!!
Well, after that, the rest of the card was easy! And.....wonder of wonders, the kite matched the paper!! A knotted piece of white ribbon completed all 7 requirements....again!! I must say I am totally floored and have no explanation for how this happened.
(BEWARE: Something in the universe is prob going out of alignment very soon since this is the second time in a row I have managed to do this!! EEK!)
Supplies used include:
Lawn Fawn - Hello Sunshine stamp set
Versamark Ink
WOW! Embossing Powder - Opaque Bright White Regular
Kite sticker from Doodlebug - Springtime collection (retired)
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways die set
Pretty Pink Posh - Sparkling Clear Mix sequins
Core'dinations kraft cardstock
DCWV solid pink cardstock scraps
Ribbon, rhinestones, and that elusive piece of patterned paper...from my stash
Hope you like my light-hearted spring card. You still have a few days left to join us over at the Butterfly Challenge. Hope to see you there!!
❤
Janis

Well I am so glad you stuck to your ferreting and found that elusive paper as it is perfect. Love the kite too. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the search, because this card is really bright and pretty! I sometimes find that searching for something helps me remember all those other things I have, too. TFS!
ReplyDeleteHi Janis and kudos for using all 7 elements! Woo-hoo! This is so bright, happy & cheerful, too. I didn't even think about looking in my stickers - which I haven't used in years! lol Good luck, my friend. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks fab Janis, thanks for joining us at MAWTT. Xxxx

ReplyDeleteOh, this is such a cheerful and colorful card Janis. I had to laugh at your frantic search for that perfect piece of paper that you had put away for later. I'm always outsmarting myself when I decide to be organized, so it appears that chaos may be my natural state. Love how you managed to hit all the elements for the Butterfly challenge...yay!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and cheery card. I am in the midst of a slow move and am always looking for something and think it must be at the other house but no it isn't so where is it? I feel like I am going crazy.
ReplyDeleteOoh this is such a gorgeous, happy card, I love it! It was definitely worth all that searching! xxx
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful creation, love the pretty colors, just what I need to see on this gloomy winter day, waiting for snow and ice.
ReplyDeleteAlso love reading your cute animal memes with the posts!
