Well, here we are at the start of a new week. Time is flying right by and I can't believe it is the middle of March already. I guess I'm going to have to get our taxes done pretty soon. I know the tax break works for most people but, unfortunately, not for us. Anyway, today Jon comes home for a week visit. We haven't seen him in four months and I'm so excited! Do you have something fun planned for this week?Today's card is a very simple card that I made for a friend. Her FIL is in the final days of his earthly life so I knew I would need a sympathy card. While I was in Wisconsin Todd's mom took me to a neat scrapbook store in Madison and when we saw the butterfly die (from
Quickutz) and embossing folder (from Sixxiz) we knew we had to have them. Actually Todd's mom bought mine for me. So sweet! Anyway, I just embossed the butterfly background on some shimmery white cardstock then printed the sentiment on it. I ran the butterfly through my Big Shot (in several combinations and then decided this was the one) and attached it with some quick dry glue. I added some pearls to the big butterfly and some black dots with smooch to the smaller butterflies. That is about it.As I do with this sentiment I printed the inside on some more shimmery white cardstock, cut it with a nestie and adhered it inside the card. Simple but the sentiment and butterfly really make this card.
I want to send a
out to my M5D design team sister, Michelle. I hope you have an amazing day today!
