The SCS Try a New Technique challenge - Transform a map - I punched my butterflies out of a map from a National Geographic.
Less is More Challenge - Frame It - I embossed a square Nestability frame in the card base.
CAS on Sunday - Flutterby - I used three butterflies on my card.
Addicted to CAS - code word WINGS - there are 6 of them on my card!
I've been needing Sympathy cards for my stash so that's what I made my next card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Wednesday I'll be posting a really cute Easter project using a template from Creations by AR. Hope you can come by then!
