Butterfly Happiness for FM119 and DD#62

I had some time yesterday to stamp for fun so I decided to make a card for the Friday Mashup and Dynamic Duos challenges.



I added in the Dynamic Duos dessert option to use a butterfly theme.  The butterflies and sentiment are from PTI's Beautiful Butterflies stamp and die set.  I added some black rhinestones and now I wish I hadn't.  They're a little crooked and it bugs me (no pun intended) every time I look at it!

Well our seven day heat wave has supposedly broken with a rather wimpy thunderstorm that passed through yesterday afternoon.  It's still pretty hot and sticky but I think the temperatures are finally supposed to dip below 90!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Beautiful Butterflies (Papertrey ink)
Accessories:  Chevron wood veneer (Studio Calico); black rhinestones (KasierCraft); Beautiful Butterflies die (Papertrey Ink)

Very pretty. Love those chevrons too. This is really wonderful. The layered butterfly is so cool, and you can never go wrong with polka dots! Great card. Bev

Jen, this is sooo perfect! You've used the colours wonderfully and what can I say about the sketch? Your version is just ideal! Love everything you have done here. It makes a bold statement.

This card is beautiful! Perfect blending of both challenges. I'm happy that "cooler" weather should be headed your way. :)

Eek, adorable! So nice to "see" a famous face at the challenge. I have been a serious fan for some time (although I prefer to see what you do with SU products... haha!). Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.
