Ageless Butterfly Card

Hey Everyone!! I know. . .it's a weird color combo but it's growing on me. LOL! I had colored this image a while ago but I must have done it in dim light because when I looked at it today, I was like. . . .ummm, okay! Luckily I found a designer paper that actually had the same color combo. Yipee! In the end it all worked out.


I colored the image with Copic Markers and added rhinestones to the butterfly. Nothing much else to the card.

For the next few days, I'm going to work on cards that are non-holiday related just to break the monotony of making holiday cards.

Not to change the subject. . .are you most creative when you are stressed and need a break by creating something or you're at your best when you are happy?

I found an interesting change about myself in the last year or two. Prior to that, crafting helped me to relax and when I was stressed or upset, I was better focused . . .it was sort of an escape from whatever was stressing me out or upsetting me. I think my best work at that time came about when I was stressed out.

Interestingly, in the past year or so. . .I noticed a change . . .I don't do well, crafting wise, when I'm stressed. I now enjoy the process when I'm at my happiest and when I'm not, I don't want to craft or even step into my craft room. Now, rather than as an escape, crafting is a reflection of when I'm at my happiest or at least in a good mood. I guess that's a good thing, huh!

Anyway. . .just a close up of my card. As you can see, I added the rhinestones to the butterfly. I like adding large primas to my card and layering it with the sentiment.

Hope y'all are enjoying your weekend!!
