PTI Anniversary Butterflies and Leaves Challenge Card 3

A little washi tape, and stamps from Flutterby Friends...can you tell I like this set?  The leaves I stamped and embossed with clear powder, the butterflies I stamped and embossed with white powder and colored over it with copic markers.

PTI Anniversary Butterflies and Leaves Challenge Card 2

I used to have a butterfly tree in my yard...and YES, it did attract butterflies...I always got so excited to see those bright colorful little winged friends flying by...such a delight...and the beautiful hanging purple flowers were just stunning...however....this tree became unmanageable..,.it spread, it grew where I didn't want it, the old trunk got very woody and rotten, so I finally cut it down and removed it...I may have to look at finding something that will not spread and can be contained, because not only did it attract the butterflies, but it brought in my  favorite little birds...the HUMMERS!!  For this card, I simply stamped the stem twice from Flutterby Friends and I used the butterflies from Butterfly Dreams and Round & Round Anniversary Set.

It's Your Day...celebrate with great joy and abundance of family and friends!

PTI Anniversary Butterflies and Leaves Challenge

Today is day 9 of the anniversary festivities for Papertrey.  Today Nichole showcased two stamp sets,  Beautiful Butterflies and Lovely Leaves...her cards are of course awesome.  The challenge is to make a card using leaves and butterflies...so here goes:

 

I used the two smallest  butterflies from Butterfly Dreams and the tree and leaves from Merry Little Christmas.  The sentiment is from Flutterby Friend.  Have you ever been to Pacific Grove, California where close to 25, 000 butterflies return every year?  I have been there, but not at the right time; you need to go in October when they migrate to that warmer climate.  I can just imagine that it is a spectacular site with butterflies every where..
