I am hopping with Taylored Expressions August Blast from the Past! See the complete list of participants at the bottom of this post. The theme is "Collectors Anonymous" to help us use some things that have been hoarded for a long time. I used the set called Friendship Blooms and the sketch created by Sankari Wegman for this card.
I have had this stack of textured paper for over 2 years and just cut into it for this card - isn't that a crime?! I love the subtle detail it gives the leafy branch, frame and butterflies. That pretty paper has been untouched in my stash forever too. And I have all these pretty buttons and twine that I love collecting, but typically don't think to use them. These are actually clear glitter buttons that I colored with a couple of copics to get the right shade of green to show through. I totally {heart} how easy it was to do!
Then at Flutterby Wednesday this week's challenge is to use punches and/or die cuts on your cards with your butterfly, fairy or angel. I love Taylored Dies and have used Leafy Branch and Take Note 3, as well as my favorite MS butterfly punch. {wink}
Thanks for fluttering by and I hope you've been inspired to break into your hoarded goodies and use them!
