I usually don't know where I'm headed with a card when I start. Sometimes I start with a stamped image, sometimes I start with a certain piece of paper, sometimes with a partially finished item from my "card parts" box, etc.
Today's card started with the die cut piece. It is from the same Cuttlebug die set that I used a few days ago, so it was sitting on my table. I ran it through my Xyron and stuck it to the card front. Then I decided to add the pearls to the centers of the squares. I had taken the Take Three stamp set (from Stampin' Up!) a few days ago to remind me to use it. So, I used it on this card:) I colored the butterflies with a Taken With Teal marker and the lines and sentiment with Basic Black. That's it. So simple. I think I'll link it to Danni's Flutter By Wednesday, since it's Wednesday and there are butterflies on it! :)
Edited to add: Thanks for the comment, Robin! The card also qualifies for the Creative Belli Blog challenge to use a butterfly or dragonfly.
Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
