Louisa will be coming back with me again this week. I'm so excited! Also, a tiny bit nervous, because Dennis has always flown with us and this time it will just be me and Louisa. I'll be there for 3 days and then she'll stay here for 4 days. That will be a wonderful stretch of time to be with her.
This card had to be finished before I leave, as it's a special request card. I dug out my butterfly dies (which I love) and some older Stampin' Up stamps. It's fun to bring out some older goodies every once in a while.
I always love a multilayered butterfly. This one has a pink butterfly, white and a vellum one topped with a blue butterfly, sequins and pink gingham ribbon.
I tell you, the gold ink is so hard to photograph, It's actually quite shiny, not flat. Equally frustrating to photograph is the pretty gold watercolor that I flicked on it. This photograph is the best I could get to show what the ink and watercolor actually looks like.
So glad you stopped by! Have a wonderful rest of your week!
