Yes you are at The Daily Marker

and thanks for stopping by again. I was so inspired by Jennifer McGuire’s  butterflies I just had to do some of my own. I have been working on these critters for a few weeks on and off because I was really feeling like I needed a makeover for my blog.

Lucy is hosting a challenge at her blog and all you have to do is have some glitter on a card here are the details.
So kind
I used an embossing folder and then went over the embossed lettering with a glue pen and sprinkled with glitter on a few letters at one time. The flowers are Hero Arts and I colored them so long ago I’m not even sure what set they are from. I added Glossy Accents to them and the button is vintage from an antique store. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,Kathy
P.S. My goal is to get to everyone’s blogs this weekend and leave some comments. Thank you for taking the time to leave your heartwarming comments here.
