This is my first entry into the Butterfly Challenge, which is one of my favs!  Each challenge offers several themes that we can use as our guide, plus a specific creative fold that we can use if desired.  The current challenge is to create a Book Binding Fold Card and the sponsor, Mrs. A, provides easy-to-follow instructions.  My card includes the fold, butterflies, a pretty strip of ribbon that has a braided/woven texture, and all four of the colors (although the blue looks darker in this photo than it looks on the card!) The butterflies were printed on a transparency sheet that I've had in my office supplies since the late '90s! That might be why the black printer ink didn't dry. So I embossed the butterflies with fine-line black embossing powder, then colored them on the underside, then fussy-cut and attached them to the card. 

Supplies: 

·   Butterfly Digi- Fred She Said (Butterfly and Blossoms)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment “Happy Mother’s Day” from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (My Mama)

·   Inside Sentiment- Simply Cards & Papercrafts Magazine sentiment downloads- (No longer available)    

·   Acetate Transparency film, black embossing powder, braided ribbon, floral paper, and clear laminate from my stash.

My first entry for the new challenge at Double D’s is a baby onesie shape card that includes a pocket. I used a template from a cardmaking class I attended years ago, and the sentiments are computer-generated.  I gave this card a feminine feeling by adding paper lace, buttons (sewn in place with a needle and thread), and delicate floral patterned paper. In the past, I’ve made a masculine card with a denim bib and red bandana.  

Supplies: 

·   Wood mount Button stamp- Stampin’ Up hostess gift years ago

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Patterned paper, flower punches, silver brad, paper scraps, and paper lace from my stash.
