Hi, everyone! Today's Friday Free4All Challenge is 'flower power'......I have chosen a pattern from the Our Daily Bread designs 'Shabby Rose Paper Collection' with roses and butterflies, along with the 'Amazing Grace Sheet Music' Background, a sentiment from the coordinating 'How Sweet the Sound' set, along with the Butterfly Single and small butterflies cut from the 'Stamped By Butterfly Mini'. After the hymn was stamped onto the designer paper, the panel was turned over and I traced the outline of the custom 'Butterfly Die' and cut it out by hand. Note: this die has 'alignment holes' on the outside of the image, so I could not simply cut the butterfly from the dsp with the die. The 'Butterfly Single' was stamped on white, sponged with pink, blue, and kraft then the sentiment from 'How Sweet The Sound' was overstamped in black. The hymn panel was sponged, paper pierced, then popped with foam tape for dimension over the butterfly which was adhered to the card base. The little butterflies are from a 'Stamped by' clear stamp (for the back of cards) but it's such a perfect size to cut out for embellishments. Pink pearls were added to the corners.
I will also be submitting this to the monthly theme of 'Keys of Happiness' (my faith) and to this week's ODBD Shining the Light Challenge, which is 'Anything Goes with ODBD Stamps'! Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

This is really just so lovely. I love the soft look of the paper and beautifully colored butterflies; The Amazing Grace stamp is one I've always liked.
