Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use it Challenge: Quotes.
I wanted to make a special card for our family friend. She is in real pain right now, both emotional and physical. What's most sad, is that she has no family left. So, Speedy the Cat has adopted her as his OFFICIAL Grandmother Cat! Every time she comes to visit, he sits right by her to comfort her. She says it's like therapy. (I have thought about taking him to her home, but she isn't allowed to have pets, so we go pick her up and bring her to us to visit!)
This was a VERY FAST card. I made it in less than 15 minutes!
The sentiment was stamped onto the designer paper. I punched out the butterflies and added bling. The Prima was layered and I added Prima leaves and Martha Stewart punches.
The bottom section of the white layer was run through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I added bling to the flower centers.

Such a beautiful card. I love the quote stamped over the sky image. I love what you did to the black butterflies. The Lo is fantastic. Love the cb ef and all the embellies. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure she will feel so much better when she sees this beauty of a card.

Wonderful! Love the way the black flutterbys pop... Had that punch in my hand last time I was out browsing for necessities. You have such creativity - takes me more than 15 minutes to try and choose papers! I'm certain the card will be loved by the recipient!
