Rainbows and Butterflies

Happy Memorial Day,

For my family this is the official start of summer and lake season has begun.    This weekend is also packed with chores trying to remove any traces that winter has left.   I know many people today are attending parades and cook-outs.   Hopefully whatever your plans today, you are spending it with loved ones.

Butterflies are a favorite of mine.  I also LOVE the color!  This card is a match made in heaven. The contrast with the black butterfly is perfect.  Surprisingly, it doesn't use copics.  I did it all with sponging.   Then I added some sparkle (can't really see this in the photos).

Stay posted... I have two more butterfly card to share this week!

Close up of the detail.  The card has great texture and sparkles.  I wish the camera could pick this up. 

No copics today!

Hello friends,

This weekend is the official start to lake season.  I'm looking forward to seeing our neighbors and soaking up the sun.  My family and I have been making preparations to open the lake house for the summer months.  I was there recently raking leaves.  It was a tough job they were heavy and wet.   My feet got covered in leaf goo.  I went to wash my feet off in the water...and it was FREEZING!!!   I'm can't imagine immersing myself in that yet...but I'm looking forward to those hot summer days.
