Fly Like a Butterfly


My friend Linda (ljhart) has an annual swap on SCS - Butterflies - in memory of her infant son. I always consider it a great honor to participate in her swap.



Here's the card I made this year:



It doesn't show up well in the photos, but the diecut butterfly has some dimension. I glued just the tip of the Lavender Lace piece to the coordinating black piece under it and then used a pop dot under the  Lavender Lace one to pop it up and give it flight.









Here's the inside of my card:

Very pretty and just the perfect DP! The butterfly turned out great.

I think I may have a stash of Lavender Lace as well! ;)

I'll comment on your lovely card because it is so beautiful. I love the colors you used in creating this.

I also loved reading about your week and seeing the lovely snow pictures which is as close as I want to get to snow!

Cute photo - Christmas around the world.

Looks like a fabulous week to me.
