Thank You

 Hello friends at Colorful Options this month our colors are a mix
of monochromatic browns.
You are however always welcome to use rainbow colors
if this color mix isn't for you.


While looking on Pinterest one day I saw a beautiful big butterfly card similar to this
one I have created for today.  It was from 2015 and her last blog post was 2022, sometimes
(always) I wonder what happened to make card makers stop blogging, always hoping
that everything is just fine in their lives, do you wonder about that too when you come
across a blog that just stopped with no explanation?

I had great ideas for this butterfly card and wanted to use 'Stampendous Frantage'
do you remember that stuff?  I spent well over an hour trying to find mine and did
find some but in Halloween colors not the browns I was looking for and I know I have it.
Last summer we put all new floors in my craft room and the entire room was emptied out
and since moving it all back in I am having a hard time finding things, like my
sanding blocks, that is another whole story!!
Anyhow, I used for the first time a Stampendous PenPattern Butterflies stamp set.
There are 3 different butterflies in this set and I used the largest.
I stamped her in Versamark then embossed with Wendi Vechi Potting Soil
embossing powder.  I stamped SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds also with Versamark
and embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkles Timber embossing powder, it has
little flecks of glitter in it.
The sentiment is Stampendous True Friends stamped in Altenew Expresso ink.  A few half pearls were added.
This isn't exactly how I had planned it as I really wanted that Frantage but in the end
it is what I came up with!

Come on over to Colorful Options and have some colorful fun with us!
