What's one of your favorite things about Summer? ~OK, I agree, ice cream is one of my favorites too! But while I was outside trimming trees and harvesting poppy seeds I couldn't help but appreciate the splash of beauty butterflies are. When I was a kid I dreamed of being able to catch one of the rarely seen swallow tail butterflies floating around our barnyard & have a leisurely & up close look. . . but I never did!
Maybe that's why I have ump-teen butterfly dies and stamps! They are so beautiful and the coloring options are just endless! Very rewarding and cost effective since I use them so often! This particular one is cut out of black card stock with an underlay of splashy & vibrant water colors. The background beauty is from Unity Stamp Co. SMAK kit "Choose A Happy Heart". I embossed it in gold on pale peach paper & then colored in just some of it with white & orange & hot pink gel pen for a pleasant "pop"! The black card it's mounted on was another way to pop the color. I added a rectangle of the pale peach paper inside with the birthday sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by...
Hope your Summer is going well and you have a chance to sip some ice tea and enjoy the butterflies
