Unfortunately, I made this card ahead for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop taking place later on in March. However, the wooden butterfly elements were part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion and the supply was depleted. (All current product must be used for that particular hop.) Thus, I am posting it here today.
My card arose from a whoopsie! I was making the fun fold card from last Tuesday and cut my oval out of the wrong piece of card stock...layering ovals framelits to the rescue!
I covered back of the front with a piece of Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to fill in the oval opening that wasn't supposed to be there! I also fussy cut two butterflies from that paper. I adhered some gold metallic thread to the Granny Apple Green oval rim and adhered that to the oval "opening". The wooden butterflies "took flight" using a white gel pen.
The challenge I'm entering today can be found at Always Fun Challenges #100 Theme: Inspired by a Movie. This movie is inspirational!
and Anne Marie has a theme challenge of "Think Spring" over at The Paper Players PP431.
I hope you have a little time to visit these two challenge sites.
Now are you asking why my post title is what it is? Well, this will explain it...
I turned it into an Easter card. "He is risen" and the dove are from the stamp set "His Grace". The "happy Easter" is from the retired "Well Scripted" stamp set. I added a strip of DSP on the side to break up the white and show off more of the Granny Apple Green and Grapefruit Grove. I will be very sad when those colors retire.
To be honest, I'm happy I goofed! Hope you enjoyed my card and thanks for stopping by.
