"Butterfly Week" continues here on the blog! I hope you have enjoyed my cards...I have had fun doing a theme and making things to share with you! It's Thursday already which means this long week will be over soon. I'm ready. Now. Anyhoo...we won't go there. Let's just share stamping and happy thoughts! Thanks for coming by today and I hope you are having a wonderful day.
I have two more butterfly cards to share...one today and one more for tomorrow. Today's card is back to the "more is more" kind of project! It's another shabby chic creation jam packed with all kinds of doo dads and things. Heck, I even got out the sewing machine! I had fun making some butterfly banners and then used this yummy paper from Bo Bunny. The paper gave me the idea for a color palette I probably would not have chosen...but I like it!
Here is the inspiration for my color paletter - this yummy orangey-peach color and a beautiful greenish aqua. The paper also has a mint green in it - isn't it delish?
Here's a close up of the top of my card. You can see I sewed my kraft layer right onto my aqua Bazzill card base. I tore the edges and added some distress ink. I put a small butterfly stamp in brown in the corner...again...more is more! The little doily is from Martha. The fleur de lis is part of that same Bo Bunny collection.
Here is the aftermath of making those banners! More layers = more yumminess! I enjoyed making them... Would I make 20? I don't think so! hahahaha.
You know I always have to add some pearl swirlys...I am in love with those! They just add a feminine touch to any project.
There's still time if you would like to join me for Butterfly Week by posting a card link in the comments! I know there are a lot of you who love them too and I would love to see your cards! Bye for now!

How beautiful, Wanda! This shabby chic beauty is right up my alley! Love the color combo. It's so different and eye catching. Love the pretty paper, too, and that banner is just out of this world. :)

Love all the things going on in your card, including the colors,the many butterflies, pearls, and flags. It's a wonderful clutter of butter - flies!! Just plain fun to look at!

Flutterific! I was inspired by yesterday's card and hope you also believe that imitation is the greatest form of flattery...I have a card class to teach in a couple weeks and I know the ladies will love the pretty punched butterflies and sweet tiny pearls. BTW, what beachy scene is featured in your blog header?
