Hi, Friends.....

Quick post to get this pretty butterfly card in under the wire at Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge.  I've been busy with Cat Hop things and also fighting a nasty cold....so I put off making this card.  Arrrgh...that's why I am posting it in the middle of the night!!  lol....

Mrs. A gave us several color options (wheat, wisteria, watermelon, and wild blue yonder), a theme (wood), and a window card fancy fold option.  Guess what????  I managed to find some fabulous Graphic 45 paper in my stash that had all 4 colors!  I used a big wooden butterfly and made the window card design.  

 I got the card nearly finished and realized the big butterfly was actually chipboard and not wood at all.  Oh, NO!!!  So I found some pretty flower/butterfly embellishments that Mrs. A had sent me once in a lovely prize.  I am fairly sure they ARE wooden.  I stained them to match the color of the chippie and added them, too.  Whew!!  

The Happy Birthday ribbon is some I made with my label maker.  I received this label maker as part a big stash-pruning prize a long time ago.  It came with a bunch of different tapes....and a number of them are printable ribbon.  This is the first time I have been brave enough to try custom printing a ribbon embellishment.  Fun!!


Supplies used include:
Graphic 45 Secret Garden collection
Southern Ridge Trading Co - big chipboard butterfly
Wycinanka - little wooden butterfly and flower embellishment
Distress Ink
Custom printed ribbon

Hope you like my card.  I love how it turned out.....even though it is the wrong season.  I will save it for spring.  :)  Thank you for stopping by!!
