Spring Butterflies

 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.

All the best,
