I loved the Stamping411 sketch for this week. I needed to make a thank you card and the sketch was a great design for me to work from.
When starting I thought I wasn't going to like it, but once again the end result turned out great. That is what counts. I chose my colors from the Stampin' Up! catalog. Sometimes when I can't come up with the colors I would like to use, I will look in the catalog at the samples, find out what colors were used, and then make a card of my own.
Here is a close up of the butterfly. It is made 3D by using dimensionals and glue dots. I twisted 1/4" early espresso grosgrain ribbon around the middle. I should probably say I also used my Big Shot and the Bigz Beautiful Butterflies die. I am very thankful that I bought it.

Well, I hope you like it. I really do. If you have a minute leave me a comment!

The lines of the Embossing folder just absolutely flow with these butterfly's. Great job!!!
