Fluttering by with thank you wishes

 

I got quite a bargin at Hobby Lobby the other day ago,  I found a clearance
sale on dies, stamps etc,  I bought 10 dies sets, stamp/die sets, and stamp 
sets and spent $33 dollars -yes $33 dollars.  The Momenta stamp above was
$1.99 and I had to buy it for Mrs. A's Butterfly challenge, and because I liked it!
 
I embossed it using  black Versaclair ink and clear embossing powder.  I colored
it with Copics.  I added some Wink of Stella,  gold Sakura gel pen and white
gelly roll-these show up more in real life.  Heartfelt Thanks is a sentiment/die
set by Spellbinders.

My mom's neighbor has been very good to them and I wanted to make a card to let 
her know how much we all appreciate her.  She has several beautiful
gardens so I thought this image was perfect for her.

I made this card with the following challenges in mind:
Allsorts Challenge 665: Hand Coloring  3/3
Butterfly Challenge #67-2 colors & butterfly:Bondi blue, Bougain billea  3/16

Absolutely beautiful friend, and what a bargin you hit when you to HL. Sometimes you just have to hit HL at the right time - like when they had the copics for $1. Beautiful coloring.

What a wonderful bargain Donna. I can see that stamp coloured in light colours and being used as a background in place of patterned paper. I like the way that you used it in this card too. Thank you for entering the Celebrate Something Special About Your Family Challenge at Path of Positivity.

Beautiful card! I understand why you had to buy it. Made a beautiful Thank You card. Could also be a beautiful Thinking of You or Sympathy card.
