Hi there bloggy friends!! IT'S FRIIDDAAAYYYYYYY! Finally! You know, I wasn't really a big fan of this week. Not really too sorry to see it go. Nothing terrible happened, just a general weirdness to it. Some bad chi. Was it just me? I'm looking forward to a weekend in the crafty cave getting things ready for my classes at Paper Garden coming up. It's gonna be here before I know it! What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a great one!
It seems I have found myself in a butterfly phase again! Remember last year when I did 'butterfly week' here on the blog? (kind of like shark week, only prettier and less dramatic). Well…I am finding myself drawn to butterflies again. So, I'm not gonna fight it, I'm just gonna go with it. Are you with me? Can't go wrong with butterflies in a crafty sense. Happy and cheery. Today's card is of the Clean and Simple variety.
Oh yeah, and here I go with the gingham again. LOVE it. The bottom butterfly was die cut out of white paper and the top one was die cut from vellum. SO crisp. The butterfly die and the border die are both from Memory Box. The flag die is from MFT. Hello!
I put three spark-a-lay blings in the center of the butterfly. I adore this fresh bright green color! This just says "summer" to me.
The green paper was mounted directly onto my card base. The white layer with the Piestra Tile Die was popped up on some foam tape.
Have a lovely weekend my crafty friends! Always so nice of you to spend a little of your day with me. You inspire me and cheer me on and make me want to be a better crafter. Thank you! XOXO

Bring on the butterflies! I love butterflies! Especially layered ones! Beautiful card! Hope your weekend is much better than your week! 🙂
Love this card, Wanda! IMHO you can never have too many butterflies OR gingham :)) Love that diecut – never realized it before, but it mimics the butterfly shape!
This is gorgeous! Love the vellum wings and how you popped up the white portion of the card.
Gorgeous card Wanda..and a happy weekend!
Stunning, gorgeous, lovely, beautiful, amazing……..
I love the tile die cut–so crisp with the green paper below. I also like the vellum idea for the wings. And, you know I love that gingham!
I agree: bad chi week–glad it’s over.
Love this fun and fresh card…yeah butterflies and gingham ROCK!!! Happy Friday Sistah! ;o)
Wanda, this is so pretty! Love the border die, oh my!! And the use of the vellum over the butterfly, you are amazing!!
I just purchased a new butterfly stamp today, can’t wait to ink it up!!!! I just made a butterfly card with an older stamp last night, maybe I should have a week of everything that flutters!! I think I missed your shark week… lol
This is gorgeous, Wanda! I love the white and green together, and of course, you can’t go wrong with MB dies!
Oh yeah..I remember butterfly week! 🙂 And I agree, you can never have too many of the gorgeous things! LOVE your card, Wanda! Such a crisp and fresh color palette, and gingham is always a big hit with me. Love the layered butterfly with the gems and love how you used that border die! That is SO eye catching!
Beautiful as always, Wanda! Have a wonderful weekend in the ‘crafty cave’ 🙂
