It's Tuesday and time for another of Mercy's AWESOME sketches! Today's sketch is SO FUN! I recently got a boat load of new goodies from Papertrey and hadn't had a chance to play with the new butterfly die and the coordinating set designed by Niki Estes, Butterfly Dreams, and thought tonight was the perfect time!
I used the new Green Boutique dp and paired it with New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores and White. The sentiment is from Butterfly Dreams and was stamped in Memento Black ink, cut out with Circle Nesties and then embossed with the Picnic Plaid Impression Plate. I sewed a button on the butterfly and added two more buttons to the end of the double row ruffled New Leaf Twill ribbon. Mose of the layers were popped up with foam tape! What do you think?
Another reason I used my Papertrey goodies is because we are welcoming a new guest this month and you'll never guess who it is!!! DEBBIE OLSON! Yes, THE Debbie Olson! Make sure you head on over to her blog to check out her drool worthy creation with Mercy's sketch......and don't forget to give the Muse's some love, too!

Very pretty card! Love the ruffled ribbon. So foam tape is the secret to keeping it fluffy looking? I'll have to try it some time.

That's a gorgeous card, Jackie - gotta love the new Hawaiian Shores color combined with New Leaf! And clever use of the impressions pad on the focal point to give some interest to the white paper!
