Oh wow, Julie, your butterfly will certainly brighten someone's day!

Pam if my challenge causes you to be incredibly creative then my work here is done! That card is outstandingly gorgeous.


Julie, same to you. That butterfly is fabulous and you sat down and made a card. I love it!

My goal when I post a challenge is just to get you (and me) all thinking about how to use something you already have possibly in a new way. However you choose to visualize and make a card here is wonderful.

Thanks Farley - and it occurred to me, I used a cut file in the background as well. Bonus! AND I have my Sizzix right here on my work desk to remind me to use the danged thing. That's as close as I can get to having it on my craft desk (different room entirely but you get my point, I'm sure). I even pulled out a new die to remind me to use it. Hey, it could happen.

I pulled out a pack of 3x4 cards and some tags and some die cuts packs and came up with this. I plan to use them for card fronts. I didn’t make a dent in my die cuts either!

These are terrific, Debbie. I particularly like the cards - probably a combination of the more modern palette and rectangular shape. Inquiring minds need to know: did you lay your tags/cards all out and work on them at once, or do them one at a time?

[pamcook]

Wow Debbie! I’m impressed!

[Debbie AZ]

I did one card at a time Keitha. Then I went back to each individual card/tag and added bits here and there.

Those are all wonderful, Debbie!

Debbie - these are great! As I was going through some sketches last night, I was contemplating pitching the ones that used the 3x4 simple cards so heavily in the sketch, because I don't have those simple stories type pages outside of the SG kits. But your post gave me a DUH moment - yours are outstanding! I should totally make my own to use in those sketches! And those tags are great too!

Very cool butterfly!!

[paddlegal]

Debbie, WOW! Those are all awesome and so very clever. A perfect use for all those elements.

Still time to join in!
