Nana’s Butterfly

I choose butterflies! My mother loved butterflies and they have become a symbol of her nearness to me so to my surprise this past week a butterfly drifted past me when I was outside pulling those blasted weeds. One more reminder that my mom and my kids’ Nana will always be with us no matter how many years she has been gone. Now for my card: it was almost all Taylored Expressions products. First the bodies of the butterflies were stamped and clear heat embossed then using the layering stencils to ink from a stamp and stencil Butterfly combo set. Then additional details were added from Butterfly Wishes stamp set, Diamonds Piercing Plate die was used to emboss the butterfly panel, a frame from Frame in Frame 3 cutting plate, sentiment from Boho Sentiments and foiled butterfly from Beautiful Butterflies set. Inks were Gina K Designs Lilac trio and unbranded banner dies complete by butterfly card.

Today’s card will be shared with:

Triple B May 2024 Challenge – to include Birds Blooms and/or Butterflies in any combination.

And because of the mood board I needed to use purples.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, be safe and look for the butterflies.
