I intended to have this posted yesterday but I'm having internet connection problems for some reason. So it gets posted this morning instead. I used one of my newest images which came from Delicious Doodles (challenge theme -- Flowers for Spring), and I used the sketch from A Die for a Sketch, plus I chose the colors from Dynamic Duo this week.
The image is colored completely with SN markers, and the image is cut with a square die, using the 'out of the box' technique on the butterfly in the top corner. The tiny butterfly next to the sentiment is a leftover from another project I did where I used a Spellbinders die and the butterfly is one of the cut out pieces. I'm not sure why it looks green. It's a deep teal, IRL. The sentiment is a rubber stamp and I don't remember what company for sure, but I think it was one I chose as a winner at DRS Designs.
Both dp were in the Linen Closet stack from DCWV, and they are clear embossed. I used two different ribbons and added pearls to both butterfly bodies for a few little gems. I thought this made a very feminine and 'romantic' card.

OK, I hope Blogger works and posts this as scheduled. (Edited to add: It didn't! Had to post it manually as soon as I saw it hadn't gone as scheduled.) I'm having a super busy week and don't know how much crafting I'll actually get done. I'm just going with the flow so look for me when you see me a'comin' down the river! :-D Happy Stamping.
