Sweet Pea Gold Challenge and Mojo132 Sketch Challenge

I incorporated two challenges in one for this card. First, I used a Sweet Pea Stamps image for their current 'All that Glistens is Gold' challenge on Sweet Pea Stampers.  I know I didn't use a lot of 'gold' in my project, but I honestly don't use a lot of gold.  I'm more of a silver kinda gal!    Anyway, the butterfly in the patterned paper is gold along with the flower flourishes in the corners and the connected circle borders on my stamped image.  Hopefully, that's enough for the challenge.

Secondly, I followed the current Mojo Monday sketch. I love following these sketches and I think it's fun that Julee's doing some round or square options now, too.  I like making round cards for the kids, they always seem in awe when they get a round card - something different from the norm.  :)

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)

Flourished Butterfly

OK, Ya'll know of my love of butterflies, but I'm really in love after playing with this butterfly tonight! lol :) Kim and I went on a trip shopping a while ago and she made me buy these! Yeah, right, my arm was twisted! Just kidding, I saw these and knew right away I needed them! lol :) I finally decided to play with them and I've already got some other ideas brewing...I'm thinkin' I need more of these! Road trip, anyone? :)

I love watercolouring on the reverse side of vellum cardstock, as it gives this cool curled effect to the vellum which gives dimension to your image.
I bought this Bo Bunny patterned paper recently and can't get over how beautiful it is. I got several of their designs...but, it's this paper that actually inspired me to buy a scrapbook as I thought you could only really appreciate these gorgeous papers in their 12" x 12" state. Well, I broke down and cut a sheet of it...cause I'm in love, now I need to buy more...help me please, I'm obsessed!!! lol :)

OK, before you think I'm all crazy, I'm gonna call it a night. Perhaps I'll go dream of butterflies and flourishes! :)
