Chasing Butterflies

Hi & hello friends!

Oh yes Friday has arrived! Hope you have great plans to create like I do :) Today's card used Chasing Tilda from the new Magnolia collection Chasing Butterflies. Every new collection becomes my favorite, fickle crafter am I (she says in her Yoda voice).  This card is higher than the sky as far as dimension goes, it may be one of my highest yet.

I started with a base of 120lb weight Neenah paper then added Bazzill Arroyo and Navajo Basics Cardstock, which is a perfect match for the colors in Making Memories Butterfly patterned paper from their new Flower Patch collection.

Tilda was colored with the colors you see above, then cut out and put onto a layer of Bazzill Swiss Dots patterned paper in Salt, which has embossed polka dots to mimic the dots in the Butterfly paper.

The flower layers are all die cut with Spellbinders Peony Nestabilities and layered with foam dots.

I cut a few butterflies from the paper, then shaped and arranged them with foam dots of different thicknesses.

Dew Drop pearls covered with Stickles in Crystal were added here and there.

Tilda's dress has a bit of Liquid Pearls in Mint Green on it as well.

Well that is about it for today. I wanted to thank you for all your kind comments and e-mails. I have said it before and I will say it many times: your thoughts mean so much to me, make me smile, and make my day. Thank you!

Happy creating!

PS: Tonight is the deadline to enter the Sharpie and Angels Landing giveaways (see my posts below for info on how to enter).
