Play Time Saturday . . .

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I know I should be doing cards for upcoming Fall shows but today I just

wanted to create something for fun and maybe use up a few tidbits that were

laying on my craft table ... so, that's exactly what I did.

What do you think?

It all started with this oval cut panel that was laying on the

table 'screaming to be used' ...

I had cut it for another project but was larger than I needed for that project.

The ovals I used are from Lawn Fawn ... Stitched Ovals ... LARGE and SMALL.

The Memory Box Calla Oval Wreath was cut from white card stock so I used

whatever ink was remaining in some of my smaller finger daubers to color it.

I sponged my background panel with TH Broken China
before adding my encouraging sentiment by Art Impressions.
 
As you can see by the glare,

I actually make this a 'window' card by repurposing a panel of 
acetate packing from one of my die sets (I keep them all for this purpose).

LOOKING BACK ... I guess I could have actually made this a shaker card ... hmmmm!

 The larger butterflies are cut from the

Memory Box 'Fairyland Butterflies' ... just the top two.

 

It's always nice when you can use your dies in different ways.

A few other 'tiny' butterflies joined the party ...
They are from the Martha Stewart '3 in 1 butterfly punch'.
