How Many Butterflies?

 I made this card up for a recent workshop (ok, maybe a month or two ago).  This picture doesn't really show it well but the words from Watercolor Words are stamped on Basic Black cardstock using Whisper White Craft Ink creating a look of chalk.  The detailed butterflies were cut out of the Black Glimmer paper which has been retired but you can use Basic Black cardstock with either Dazzling Diamonds or Clear Wink of Stella.  I used my Brother ScanNCut to cut out a solid back for the largest butterfly since the Bold Butterfly Framelits and Butterflies Thinlits do not have one.

Beautiful Butterflies...

I love butterflies - they are so graceful as they fly by.  Here's a recent card I made using the Bold Butterflies framelits.  I thought it would make a perfect Thank You card and there are numerous people in the world that we should thank you to for their generosity, kindness or friendship.  Take the time today to send your own thank you card to someone who has touched your life and who could probably use a smile.
