Mrs A Made Me Do It

Hello.  Welcome.  I had already decided on the colours and products I was going to use for this card and the butterfly made me think of Mrs A's Butterfly challenge.  Now, I admit, my participation is sketchy at best, and I hadn't dropped by in a while, so I hopped over to check the criteria.  And Lo! Mrs A has changed the format to include a card shape!!  I have already missed A is for Aperture and B is for Bi-fold.  We are now looking at C is for Center Step.  I was so impressed by Mrs A's third card I just had to give it a go.........

Mine isn't anywhere are elegant as Mrs A's.  And I am so glad that Mrs A spent time and effort working out variations on designs and has generously shared them.  It still took me a while to put this together, but it's a fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.  

I used card from a paper pad I bought at the Works for my base card and the panels.  It's double sided yellow polka dots/green with orange flowers.  I also used some purple and yellow scraps to cut the little fancy frames using a Marianne Design die and to stamp the butterflies, also by Marianne Designs.  I stamped them on a yellow snippet, coloured with gel pens and fussy cut.  The girl was also stamped on a scrap of white card, coloured with distress inks and fussy cut.  She's a Marianne Designs Stampfairy and comes with a snowman, but he got the chop!!  I wanted this to be a springy creation so no snowmen allowed.......  The sentiment is from Rubber Dance Bling Bling stamp set.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
