Black Butterfly Accents

I finally picked up this Martha Stewart butterfly punch last week. I've been wanting it for a while so I am so happy it is now mine. And when I saw Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge, I knew I had to play! Have you visited Sharon's No Time to Stamp? blog? You won't be disappointed if you do. {She even has some Blog Candy this week! } Sharon issues a simple challenge each week and this week her charge was to use black accents on your card- perfect for my little black punched and Cuttlebugged butterflies.

Card Supplies~
Stamps~ French Flair
Ink~ Soft Sky
Paper~ Whisper White, Basic Black, Soft Sky
Accessories~ Punches, Distresser, Cuttlebug, Stitched Soft Sky ribbon, rub-on sentiment

ETA~ Journaling marker was used to add some doodling swirls and whirls

And guess what else? As I was gathering my supplies for my card, I gathered up a few extras. I just felt like sharing! Maybe it was those butterflies.....Hmmmm..... Butterfly Kisses?? Here is what I have to share~ lots of little black butterflies, one yard of stitched Soft Sky ribbon, silver brads, a variety of punches in Soft Sky AND a Heidi Swapp Edge Distresser:
Leave me a comment on today's post to be included in the draw for this little RAK! And since I'm on my last few facts and running out of things to talk about you can tell me 2 facts about YOU! Maybe it will give me some ideas!

ETA~ Random drawing will be this Sunday, April 27.

I am trying to lose weight so I am missing my snack foods, my new favorite snack is Multi-grain Tostitos.

I hoard alterables. If I find something I like and think is cute, I will buy plenty so they don't run out.....(I never use them all?!?)

Angel, I love the butterflies as your black accent item!
Two things about myself: 1) when in a card-making slump I can become inspired by sketch layouts, and 2) I'm satisfied with my life in the present and wouldn't want to go back in time to relive an earlier time.
later, alligator!

Hi! 2 facts about me-

Cute card! Thanks for sharing. Here are two facts about me...

1. I had that Martha Stewart butterfly punch in my hands on Saturday and I put it back. What was I thinking?

2. I love listening to Christmas music year round :-)

Angie said...

I love the 100 facts you are doing about yourself. It seems like 100 isnt that much, until you go write those facts out.
2 facts about me...I hate looking in the mirror in the bathroom at night, in the dark. And I love to read before I go to bed.

Anita said...

I, too, had Martha Stewart's butterfly stamp in my hand and put it back! If I win, I will have to run right back down to Michael's and get that stamp!

Two facts: (1) I'm an only child and can spend hours by myself without having anyone around - even though I've been married for 34 years; (2) I'm retiring in 2 years, 2 months, 7 days - but who's counting!

I love your card, especially the butterflies with the florish underneath them. The doodled dots are cute too. Did I say I love this card? Two facts: 1)I hate to cook 2)I'm addicted to patterned paper. Sometimes I just go through it and look at it. Of course, I have a hard time cutting into it also. Love your facts about yourself. I look forward to reading them. Hope you keep it up.

I too just bought the butterfly - Sharon needs a commission on all the butterflies being purchased because of her.

Sara said...

Two facts, I do not comment enough on peoples blogs, ok maybe not a real fact. I LOVE JESUS and want to completely submit to HIS will and Life just has its ups and downs and if you do not learn to roll with it you will fall down or stumble along the way. Does that count for a fact? I guess I am learning to roll with it... Hope this comment counts for being entered, not sure if you really meant this one or really meant whatever was posted when I finally checked your blog again. Smiles and Blessings,
Sara
