Butterfly in Blue


Good Morning Blogging friends.  Spring is finally here.  I have seen a variety of birds - some of them fat little baby Robins and my daffodils are now in bloom.  Now I am waiting for the butterflies to arrive.  I have this gorgeous lacy Cheery Lynn Butterfly die I have been wanting to use.  I started this card by using the Martha Stewart "Double Arches" punches for the lacy border.  In the center I used the new 8"x8" Crafter's Companion Regency Swirls embossing folder.  

Down in the corner I placed three roses created with the MFT Royal Rolled Rose" die.  Behind it I place the Marianne Design (LR0157) embellishment.  Cherry Lynn BAF#2 Embellishment "baby breath" tiny flowers were glued to the Marianne Design "leaves" embellishment and placed to the right of the other embellishment.  Light Aqua Kaiser Craft pearls were placed around the body of the butterfly then white Liquid Pearls were added to the wings of the butterfly.
