A Trio of Cards

I love this sweet digi image from Cute As A Button’s current Progressive Challenge. The shocked look on her face inspired the sentiment I added to this slimline card!  (It makes me think of a friend whose granddaughter once asked “Nana, how old are you?” When my friend replied, “64” the little girl paused for a bit, then in a shocked tone asked, “Did you start at 1?”) So fun!
I’m entering this card into several challenges including TIME OUT Challenge (the quote mentions spending time in the garden. My mom’s flower garden always included lots of daisies!), and Outlawz  Saturday Paper Ala Mode Challenge (Daisies are one of my favorite signs of  Spring!)

I used my Paint program to layer png silhouettes from a Beccy’s Place digi set onto a jpg sunset photo of a nearby lake taken by a talented friend. I like to add butterflies to sympathy cards to symbolize new life. These pretty ones were made with a Fiskars punch. A black marker and tiny scrap of black paper were used to create their little bodies and antennas!
