I struggle with Mother's Day cards. I'm not so good at feminine and floral. I had this digital paper that I wanted to use, so I went looking for butterfly stamps and came across this set with the flowers and butterflies. I thought it would be good for TLC85 which involved coloring with watercolor crayons and rubbing them to create a soft glow around the image. Not my style. This card felt really boring to me, so I threw on some twine and a silver binder clip to jazz it up. I'm OK with it now.

girl, I love to read when you are stretched! This turned out well. So many details to see. I know it's not your bag, but you brung it! The addition of the hardware and twine just up your game.

Excellent use of the sketch! Love the background paper and how you built up from there. The butterflies, swirls & flowers image is fabulous. Nice addition with the twine & clip. I like how you did the sentiment with one word stamp separate. Nicely done! TFS
