...because it took me three tries to get a bg with a white butterfly that I thought worked for this week's Tea Party recipient, Vickie Y. Vickie loves butterflies and pink and others things, but I stopped at butterflies and pink.
I really wanted this to be white on white, but I just couldn't see the butterfly. I had originally stamped some cherry blossom-ish blooms all around the butterfly but it just looked blah, so I set this panel aside. While working on the others I ended up with a lot of DOX on my mat so I sprayed the ink and smooshed this panel into it thinking I would use it in the future. Once it dried it looked the best of my three -- of course it did. Stamped the script in silver. Decided to abandon the cherry blossom-ish blooms and pulled out this set with matching dies. Added stickles to the centers for a little bling. I created the edge around the sentiment by direct-to-paper with the DOX.
I hope Vickie enjoys this "charming" card and feels much affection and support from all of her SCS friends. I hope you all feel much affection and support as well and I hope you have a charming day too. TFL

what a beautiful card, Debbie! I love the depth and that fantastic background. The limited glittery centers of the flowers is perfect!!! This is such a cool card.

I am chuckling at the process of how you made this card, Debbie, more often than not, the same thing happens to me, LOL. I love that white butterfly (that we can clearly see ) on the pink script bg - it has that soft glowy effect! I agree with Susan, the sparkly centers on the flowers are perfect! Good things come in threes, so sending this card to Vickie will bring her good luck!

Yes, it's amazing how our perception of a piece can change and I really like this cheery cherry color - it's beautiful both with the silvery text and makes the white embossed butterfly look even more delicate.
