Happy Thursday, all! You know I like things in threes and when I saw the Clean & Simple Colours & Sketches challenge this week, I was quite happy:
I did a class recently at my neighborhood retirement center and had some leftover pieces from that project, so I used them for my project:
The butterflies were diecut with some Shimmer Pool Party cardstock, then layered on a butterfly-embossed piece of Basic White. The sentiment is from Poppy Stamps' Whittle Sayings, using an Impression Obsession Small Tags die.
Here is the original project; I just used two of the single butterflies and trimmed one from the trio for the above card:
I am also entering this at Krafty Chicks, where they're looking for Clean and Simple too!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
"But I will bless the person who puts his trust in me. He is like a tree growing newar a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8
