Blooms and butterflies do sparkle

Here is another from the series of inspirational cards I made while up at the lake in July. Remember, I had a minimum of supplies, so made up a dozen cards sans stamped images!

I thought this snippet of patterned design paper had enough strength to carry off the butterfly and die. After adding the corner die, I fet it looked a little bare in the top left so I made a flag strip and added a sentiment. I had to search for a word that was appropriate...after making so many cards, that page of pre-printed words was getting low on inspirational words...I added some bling to the flag to help balance the card and then found Sparkle!
Seemed appropriate....

I only brought a bunch of snippets of Kraft cardstock and barely had any left. After painting it and then rubbing off some paint, this flag piece got extra shabby...I hand cut another sliver and tucked it behind to make it match the other elements...much better now. Wish that die came with the option of cutting a shadowed, backing piece as my hand cutting is not always the best.

Here is a close up

This yet another card that will need antennae added once I return home...can not remember to pack everything it seems...I left my fine copic marker back at home...once added I will pop a diamond at the end of each and it will be done
