Butterflies and flowers...

I seem to have a butterfly thing going on this weekend in my cardmaking! I do like butterflies though - they are just so pretty, but cannot abide moths! They are so hairy!!! LMAO

Anyways my first card is for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge #4 to use fun foam (I found an entire pack of A3 sized sheets in a huge range of colours tucked at the back of a load of my stamp boxes. No idea when I bought this but it looks pretty old!). I also used Papertrey Princess Leah's challenge to use a frame but no sentiment (I ended up using a very similar layout to Leah's as well, so must have subconsciously CASEd her card - thanks for the inspiration Leah!) and Totally Hues #3 to use Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores. (I am SOOOO happy to have found a PTI colour challenge blog!)

Recipe:

Papers: Orange Zest, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Stampers Select White, 2008 Bitty Dot Basics DSP all from PTI
