Wishing You Comfort

I have been so busy lately that this is the first day this week I have been able to play! Not sure if I remember how to make a card...honestly don't ask me how long this took, LOL!! Although I can say I started twice!!


The leaves were stamped with the small leaf from Verve's New Mercies- it was stamped haphazardly and both first and second generation. Sentiment is from New Mercies also. The butterfly was stamped in chocolate chip and colored with copics. Used Verve's All Aflutter die to cut several butterflies for some dimension and layered on Verve's Embossed Oval die. Added some Zva bling to finish off.



Here's a close up of the layered butterfly.

Used the Color Throwdown colors for this week...

 
 
And Moe's sketch for week 2 of the Viva la Verve sketches..

Glad you started again :) The leaf image is fabulous with both generation stamping and the butterfly - perfection! Gorgeous card, my friend!! Hope you get a bit more inky time this w/e.

This is just lovely. The layered butterfly is so pretty and the pearl flourish trail is the perfect accent.
