FMS727 Pink Butterflies

Happy Friday, peeps! What a crazy day we had yesterday; we lost our electricity yesterday morning after several hours of flickering lights---crazy flickering, like strobe lights!  It triggered our GFI outlets, so we thought our refrigerator died, but blessedly John remembered the GFI.  Same thing happened when we went to make coffee....again, the GFI!!!  It took several hours for the electric company to come to make the repair (a transformer) but they had it fixed in minutes!  We went from 80 degree temps one day to snow and 30 degree temps the next!  Then the sun came out and melted it all!  March has been crazy!  I did finally get a few minutes to make a card for my college roommate, who fell and broke her ankle!  I already had the pieces on my desk for another project, so it came together fairly quickly.  I used the FMS sketch:

and here we go:


I embossed the Bubble Bath panel with an embossing folder called Butterfly Burst, then added a stitched frame, a stitched and embossed arch, and some pretty diecut butterflies.  The Bubble Bath shimmer cardstock is pretty in real life, but it's a challenge to see the shimmer here! Plus I wish it matched a little better. Oh well.


A sentiment from the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Pretty in Pink, and I stamped an encouraging get well message on the inside:

Getting ready for a card class tomorrow, so I'm outta here! Thanks for popping in; enjoy your day and be blessed!

What a pretty card for your friend! Love the butterflies, 2 different pinks and the frame! This card will make your friend smile and brighten her day! Great card! Our power was out this morning (5am-6:30am). I was hoping to sleep in but that idea went out the window real fast! Yesterday the weather was definitely crazy! Today: Hang on to your hat! LOL

You've captured our sketch and it's SO pretty in pink, LeAnne! I'll take butterflies over 'weeds' any day!
This is the epitome of March coming in like a lion, right?? I'm worried about the rood coming off today - 60 mph winds? I hope they've over estimated!
Thanks so much for playing along with FMS, my friend!
