I am so late with this card for the Twisted Sister Challenge that it is nearly due for next week - LOL! But they are very forgiving gals...this week we are to use Bashful Blue, Sage Shadow and Very Vanilla - well, not being a SU girl I used the closest I had - so I hope this is close enough - at the very least it will keep me at the 'back of the Bus' which seems to be my permanent place of residence - but I am not complaining, as least I have never been sent to the ROOF, not like others who shall remain nameless! LOL!
The butterfly is from the Layers of Color art stamp set Flutterescent which has been chalked and had Kindy Glitz lightly added for a touch of shimmer. I have used some peices of DP that have been gathering on my desk, sponging the edges and using the SU Eyelet Border Punch along the edges of the centre panel. The butterfly is popped up on foam dots on a scalloped circle which is also on foam dots. The sentiment is from SU.
So there you have it - late for all 3 Challenges but could not resist playing along!! Thanks for looking and your encouraging comments - you always make me smiie! You can find me and more on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/
