Sending hugs and prayers


Hi friends.   I was inspired by the sketch over at Fusion challenge, the Trend Watch challenge at Paper Smooches and I am also going to send this card to Maddy next week.

Here is the sketch:

Here is the Paper Smooches Trend Watch Inspiration picture:



I embossed the image from Summer Silhouettes in Gold and punched my butterflies out of vellum cardstock.  Added a gold sequin to the middle and stamped the sentiment from Spiritual Sampler by Paper Smooches. 

Another one using different colors and bigger butterflies:

  5. BeeYOOtiful! Both of them, but you know me, I'm a sucker for pink, so that's my fave. Lovin' the vellum flutterbies and the embossing, both dry and heat. Gorgeous cards both!
