I wanted to send my good friend and #1 craft enabler a card of support. She loves butterflies so when I spied this card on today's inspiration site, I thought it would be perfect. https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/i...erredBy=search
And, since she loves purple, I also used this week's Color Challenge.
So, if I'm honest, when I looked at the image in the dim light of morning, I thought all those small butterflies on the inspiration card were flowers but now I see they are smaller butterflies. Oh well. But that's how I ended up with flowers. And, truth be told, I like the idea of this card better than the card. But I am delighted to send her a butterfly that's very different than all the other butterflies I have sent her over the years so I'm happy with the outcome. And since Judy is a cardmaker, I know she will appreciate the work it took to make this. It also surprised me that I enjoyed gluing all those bits and pieces together as much as I did. Wow, I am evolving and all because of SCS.
Hope you are having fun in your craft room today too. It's really too hot here to do anything else...like housework...who would do housework in this heat when there are cards to be made. LOL. TFL.

Very pretty...I love the texture and the purple. You know the IC challenge is all about inspiration....things don't have to be exactly copied so no worries about flowers instead of butterflies. I'm sure your friend will appreciate this and she knows all the ins and outs of creating it.

Debbie, fantastic! Love the texture BG with that beautiful "flowered" butterfly. All the die-cuts and color schemes are perfect. Love the sentiment with the gold trim.
