Hi friends! Happy weekend! Yippeeeeee. Hope you're out in the sun and havin' some fun! TE Release Week was sure great, wasn't it? LOVE this month's new toys.
Today I'm back to share a "modern shabby chic" birthday card with you, and once again, I've featured a butterfly. Hmmmm, do I need a butterfly intervention? Is it acceptable to want to put a butterfly on EVERY project? Because I think I probably could do that!! Every time I think I need just a little something else on a project, that's what I reach for. Is that bad? Do I need butterfly rehab? Or should I just go with it? What do you guys think? I'd love to hear from you about what you think! What is your crafty obsession? 🙂
This particular butterfly is a brand new acquisition! It's part of a brand new die set from my stampy Idol Brenda Walton! Remember that I got to meet her at CHA??? YAY! Well, this was one product I really wanted and I found it last weekend at the Scrapbook store and snapped it up. The die set also has a dragonfly and a smaller butterfly. YUM.
I cut my butterfly out of this uber cool paper (no I did not stamp all those letters on there)…. Then I used a Cuttlebug folder for my background piece. The sentiments are from two different PTI sets.
This Prima flower has been in my stash for some time – guess it's time to stop hoarding flowers… Everything is edged with corduroy distress ink.

What a wonderful butterfly card & I love the distressing. Bling on the flower is too cool.
I have that same embossing folder and just love it. I, too, am a flower hoarder. I made 3 cards with flowers this weekend and just decided to use some of those flowers! It’s not like I can’t find more if I run out (LOL).
Gorgeous..LOVE the colors!
I’m loving the latest die releases from Brenda Walton, some elegant and gorgeous designs… love this card Wanda, the embossed background makes the card… it has been the 1st good weekend in the UK this year so my 3 cats have been out and about enjoying the sunshine… hope Buddy is well and enjoying himself too… x
I don’t think you need butterfly intervention. I think many crafters are like that–stuck on one element for awhile, then later they more on to something else. I know for awhile everything had to have a paper flower on it, everything had to have a ribbon on it, everything had to have bling on it, why not everything has to have a butterfly on it?!
I think I need a butterfly intervention, too! And a flower intervention. I think everything looks better with them both! 😉
This is gorgeous, my friend!
Wow!! Just GOR-JUSS Girly! 😉
Hope you’re having a Super week!
Hugs
