Happy Anniversary



I have a card for this week's ColourQ cQc #128 challenge.  I interpreted these colors as Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, New Leaf and Smokey Shadow.  I was inspired by two of my most favorite recent cards here and here to come up with this card today.  I have to say that it is very hard not to use Beautiful Butterflies on every card.  The butterflies are so versatile, and I think the accompanying sentiments are some of my favorites.  (At least I put away Rosie Posie, for a bit).



Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Beautiful Butterflies,  WM Musical Backgrounds
Paper:  Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, New Leaf, White Smokey Shadow
Other:  Beautiful Butterflies, Memory Box Piestra Tile dies, ribbon


Thanks for Visiting
