The Wings of the Butterfly

Hurray! It's Sunday and that means the new challenge is up on the Sentimental Sundays blog. The challenge this week is "Encouragement & Support".

I wanted to use something a little different than "Hang in there" or "Thinking of You" so I decided to use this sentiment from Tlc Creations. It says "May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun and find your shoulder to light on." For some reason, it just strikes a chord inside me and I love it.


I hope you will join us this week and share your cards of support and encourgement on the Sentimental Sundays blog. A random entrant will win 4 digital stamp sentiments of their choosing or a sentiment set from Raindrop Echo Designs Whismy Stamp digital collection. The only rule is that you follow the theme and you must have a sentiment somewhere on your card.

Thank you for looking!

Challenges for this card:


Supplies:
  • Images: Butterflies Word Art by Tlc Creations on Digi Design Resort
  • Papers & CS: My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow Spring in Bloom, Blue-Green Vines, & Checking out, Georgia Pacific CS, PaperTrey white CS, misc. orange CS
  • Inks: None
  • Tools: Copics & Prisma color markers (to color gems), Cricut, Xyron, Martha Stewart lace border punch, Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities
