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.

    This is spring rendered in papercrafting form if ever there was! What a sweet, absolutely gorgeous celebration of blooms and wee little winged friends aplenty.

    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.
