This card is for a long-time friend's April birthday...my first after knee replacement surgery (hopefully I can get back to full speed soon). After checking out the challenges, I think my card will fit several that I missed while A.W.O.L.
1. Inspiration Challenge - IC645 - April 14, 2018. Checking out the Cuddle & Kind website led me to my companion colors to use with my already-planned black music paper. This was my inspiration: https://www.cuddleandkind.com/product/lucy-the-lamb/ ...colors pinks, corals, creams, and flowers.
2. Way's To Use It - WT684 - Bug's Life - 4/19/18. I'm thinking my butterflies qualify as bugs...Google says they are insects...just pretty ones!
