Hello All,
I cannot believe this, I am posting this well within the time limit of The Paper Players. I am also playing along with The Color Throwdown. Enjoy the card for today!

| The branches on the background are stamped in gray. I wanted to keep it simple so the butterflies could shine and giving a sense of place. |
 |
| The sentiment is a mix of die-cutting and stamping. The 'spring is here' sentiment came from a word art collage stamp. I stamped the entire image and cut out the strip I needed to complete the card. |
 |
| You would think the butterflies were hot-foiled from a watercolor background but not from me. The butterflies are part of designer paper that was on clearance. I carefully cut them out and adhered them on the mini-slimline card. |
Here in GR Michigan butterflies are always the first sign of Spring. Yes it is 19℉ and there isn't a butterfly in the world that could survive here, but there is a place called Fredrick Meijer Gardens where the butterflies are hatching in droves. The gardens have their own solarium where it is a balmy 80℉. The perfect environment for butterflies to flourish. If any of you visit western Michigan I invite you to check this place out. It is spectacular!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes are headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and please stay safe and healthy.

Shawna your foil-embossed butterflies are so pretty and the wash of colours are so perfect for spring. Love the slimline design too! Thanks for playing along with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Shawna, it's such a delight to see your very pretty card in our gallery today! The butterflies are beautiful, and you're right, they do look foiled. How neatly you cut them out, I love the details and shine. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players!
WOW! Shawna, this card is just fabulous! Another card that has such an amazing aura of lightness and fairy-tale. The addition of branches in the background in gray makes the background harmonize beautifully with these lovely butterflies without dominating the foreground. Amazing project!
