Hello! Sometimes I am immediately inspired by a challenge and know at once what I am going to create but other times, it takes awhile to come up with an idea. I knew at once what I was going to use for the Just Us Girls Photo Inspiration shown below. It might not be acceptable but I knew that I wanted to recycle some butterflies that were on a card that I had received some time ago. I carefully removed two die cut butterflies that were already enhanced with glitter and gemstones and set aside while I created a card for them. I printed a digital image of orchids (inspired by the JUGS challenge graphic) that I had from Beccy's Place on Ivory Cardstock and colored with Copics and Pencils and stamped a birthday sentiment from Gina K Designs. I attached the image on a card base of the same Ivory CS and adhered the saved butterflies. I drew on the antennas with a black marker. I am pleased with the results and happy to have found a use for the beautiful butterflies.

Wow, what a gorgeous card! You've done a wonderful job putting it together Theresa, and I love that you recycled the butterflies...I'm a big fan of reusing items. The sequins on their wings add some great sparkle to your creation. I also like the pink and purple colour scheme, it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
