I'm having to come in through the back door to the teaparty with my card because I brought a butterfly.I'm sure all the little dragonflies are safe, because my butterfly was so intent on cheering up a little girl. She is a little girl from our church, our pastor's daughter, has Bells Palsy and I wanted to make a special card just for her and she loves butterflies. This is also for the technique lovers challenge that Holly gave us on Monday to personalize our card. The colors and dp on this card made me think of Lilly, the little girl from church. We were also to use our favorite technique. My favorite technique is 3-d paper flowers. I have a tutorial on my blog on how to make them.PAPER ROSES TUTORIAL
This is also for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge to have a critter of some kind on our card. My critter is my Layers of Color butterfly.
***I usually post my card before I give it, but yesterday I was in a hurry so took the photo to upload today, so I know how the card was recieved when I'm posting. Lilly looked at the card and tried smiling even though her face wasn't cooperating. I could see it in her eyes though, and the way that she ran her fingers over the butterfly and the roses.***

Gorgeous card MariLyn, and thanks for sharing the story of Lilly's reaction. Isn't that what makes it all worthwhile... to see someone's delight in a card created just for them? Please give Lilly a hug for me... she sounds like a special little girl.
