Inside Out



It is Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and this week our challenge to you is called Inside Out.  We want you to make a card and finish the inside as nicely as you would finish the outside.  I love this butterfly and decided to make it the focus of my card this week.  I added lots of gems on the front but didn't add any on the inside butterflies so that the card would close properly.  I have also made sure to leave space for a handwritten message.

A couple of weeks ago, I received the most wonderful package of crafting goodies from several of my teammates from Sugar Creek Hollow.  I oohed and aahed over them and then I found homes for everything but it wasn't until I had everything put away that I realized I should have made notes of who sent what.  So as I use the different gifts, I will be saying it was a gift but I apologize that I won't be able to say who it came from.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

AI Factory - Monochromatic
Rainbow Lady  - Shabby Chic

Wags and Whiskers - Punches

  1. Cec, these shades of blue are amazing! I love how you printed the butterfly smaller for the inside. The border punch you chose is perfect. It makes me think of butterfly wings.
