Our TPT Challenge is to make something old into new, so I used the very colorful box (hoarded) from Five Daughters Bakery in Franklin, TN (mmmm the BEST 100 layer donuts) which I cut into strips for the floating circle.
The butterfly was die cut from one of the many 3x3â hologram squares that were placed under our furniture in the last carpet cleaning, which I OF COURSE salvaged and which work amazingly well for die cutting (gotta get those guys out here again for carpet cleaning, running out of hologram squares).
I thought the caterpillar/butterfly sentiment would pair well with the floating circle, which symbolizes the world.
This card will be going out to another Teapotter this week for our end-of-month Tickle card exchange. Come play along!

Lovely sherbet colors and recycled elements. The floating world and the shimmer on the butterfly direct the eye to the encouraging sentiment. Your card exudes serenity, Linda!

This floating design is always impressive...love it. I really like that you saved the hologram paper for your butterfly...perfect! And the saying is just right. I wished I lived in TN..those donuts sound amazing!

LOL, sounds like a good reason to get the carpets cleaned. The floating stood strips are lovely, that's a technique I need to revisit. The doughnuts sound amazing, I had to look them up. A bit like cronuts, it sounds.
