Happy Hump Day Friends!
Today I have a card to share with you for the new challenge over at the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge Blog. When I was working on this card I was really struggling with my 'mojo levels' but then it finally kicked into gear and I'm very happy with the outcome.

I just LOVE the springy paper I used on today's card! With it being SO COLD outside, I needed to create with a happy, springtime theme and my choice is design paper was just what I needed.
This paper pack actually came free in one of my magazine subscriptions and I had it in a stack with some other 'freebies' I've received to use for blog candy but just hadn't gotten around to it yet.
I just ADORE this Memory Box butterfly die.
I wanted them to really POP so die cut them onto a scraps of card stock (top in blue/lower in ivory) and colored them myself using Tim Holtz distress inks. First with 'Salty Ocean' then with 'Picked Raspberry' to create the purple centers.
I hand pierced the three top panels on my card front ... but then decided to distress all the panels so now some of them you don't really see the piercing.
