Hello Friends, How are you doing this week?? I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is around the corner already! Do you have any projects on your “to do” list for Thanksgiving?? I hope to get some place cards made.

Two days ago  I shared this butterfly (that I drew in my journal) and I was disappointed with the weight of the paper my butterfly was on.  I put some “Studio Gloss” on the BACK of the butterfly before I cut it out & loved the result. I painted a layer (like I would peanut butter on bread)  and once it dried the butterfly felt like heavy card stock!! Soooo cool 🙂

 The die cut is one of the new Spellbinders and the sentiment is SRM stickers. All supplies are listed in the bottom of this post. I’ll be back Friday with two cards for a color challenge and a blog hop. Have a happy day! Hugs, Kathy

    Striking dimension of the butterfly & I love your choice of colours . The lacey die cut border really accents that lacey toothlike patterning on your butterfly too.
