I Brake for Big, Beautiful, Butterflies!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that my friend asked me to make for her sister-in-law.

I've used XLG Butterfly.

What I love about this guy is that there are endless possibilities as to the color combinations you can use.  I don't know Diane's favorite color and I was in the mood for purple so purple she gets!

I've only glued the body down.  The wings are "popped" up and can be fluttered.

I had wanted to color a second one and layer them to make it even more dimensional but I ran out of time.  I'll have to try it when I have more time.

I Brake for 2016!

Hello and happy Saturday!

This isn't just ANY Saturday...it's the first one of 2016.

Happy New Year everyone!

Today I'm sharing a thank you card.

I used two stamps from I Brake For Stamps on my card.

The first is a verse called Thanks So Much.

The image is called XLG Butterfly.

I always receive a lot of gifts at work from kids and co-workers so I need a lot of thank you cards.  This one is for one of the teachers I work with.  She absolutely loves birds and butterflies.

I was inspired by THIS card that I found on Pinterest.  I believe I changed it enough to call it my own.  Her original is so beautiful.  I just had to recreate it in some way.

I Brake For Butterflies and Birthdays!

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you.

On the front of my card I've used XLG Butterfly and Every Day Phrases from I Brake For Stamps.

I stamped the butterfly with white pigment ink and then used embossing powder on it.

On the inside of my card I used Happy Birthday and the Butterflies from Botanical half sheet also from IBFS.

I Brake For Blue Butterflies!

Hello and welcome to my IBFS Saturday post! 

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card that I made.  The mother of one of my co-workers passed away and I needed to make a card for her.  I'm not sure exactly why but I always think butterflies are perfect for a sympathy card.  Maybe because they're so peaceful and beautiful to look at.  I've used XLG Butterfly on my card.  I Brake For Stamps has many beautiful butterfly images.  

Here's a close up of the detail in the butterfly.

I used pearls down the body and colored  it with Copic markers.
