Butterfly Bestie Card

Hi friends!  I'm back a day early as I have a busy day ahead of me tomorrow and wanted to get a post up.  I have had a wonderful week filled with surprise blessings.  It is good to focus on the little things in life.

Today's card features a Besties stamp and papers from Prima's Butterfly collection.  Love this color palette.  The base of the card was made from a medium shade of purple cardstock.  The Bestie image was colored with Copics.  I added a tiny Spare Parts flower to the bow of her hair.  I matted another piece of pattern paper as well as the Bestie image in a lighter shade of purple.  A wreath from Memory Box was placed between the two and placed onto the woodgrain paper.  Ribbon roses from Spare Parts were placed along the bottom edge.  The butterfly, rhinestones and roses are from Recollections.


I find I am drawn to the various shades of purple a lot lately, particularly in the softer tones.  It makes a pretty palette for spring.


Well, that's it for me tonight.  I hope you have had a good week and wish the best for everyone in the next week.  Thank you so much for visiting my blog.  I read and appreciate each of your kind comments.  Hugs.
