Good afternoon!  

The sun has actually made an appearance....twice today lol  

This has been one of the wettest and dreariest Springs I can recall.  And a bit chilly too!  

I suppose summer will appear like *snap*  

Hope we'll be ready for it!

This card will be entered into the Challenge at Gina K Designs, Things With Wings.

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets;  A Year Of Borders and Take Flight.

Stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.

The front of the card is nothing special, just pretty little butterflies.......

BUT the inside.......POPS.......literally!

Using the Dies R Us Butterfly #2 set, I cut 7 butterflies in rainbow color.

Using Gina's Connect Glue, I adhered them all together in the rainbow order:  ROY G. BIV.

That Glue is AHmazing!!!

I also stamped a large butterfly and my sentiment.

It just POPS!  

And still folds flat for mailing.....pretty cool, huh??

My last card will be entered into the Impression Obsession Challenge, Blue and Yellow.

I used the Impression Obsession stamp and die sets; Hanging Basket.

I stamped the hanging basket in Amalgam Black ink.

Then just kept adding stamped flowers and foliage in all shades of blues and yellows.

I then die cut the hanging basket and placed it over my stamped one.

Stamped 3 of the larger flowers and fussy cut them out adding some foam for dimension.

Adhesive Pearl for the hanger, colored with a Copic Marker.

Stamped my sentiment and a few falling leaves.

Inside another little flower and leaves.

Layered my white panel on to blue, yellow and another white piece of card stock, 

then adhered to my base.

As I was playing with flowers and butterflies I had a little visitor....not sure if he should be out and about during the daylight hours.....and he definitely should not be heading under my deck.  YIKES!

Shouldn't he be playing 'possum' ?!?!

Thanks for popping in!
