Hope you can cling to {day 13}

This was done for Misti's hope you can cling to challenge seen here. the them was show me your scars with at least one edge of torn paper. The printed papers are from Authentique. the Sentiment is form the simon says stamp handlettered encouragement set and the butterfly was done melted pearls with a Savvy Stamp. This one is 6" square in real life.

On another note when I came home from work on Monday I needed a Birthday card for my mother in law whose birthday is today and this is what I put together.

 

So you can see why I am grinning this morning. the card at the top being donated was done weeks ago for a sample for Misti and you know I am always surprised in the morning when they go live as to which card is going live that day. ( I don't remember things like that) so, the fact that last night I made a card with melted pearl butterflies and torn paper just makes me laugh this morning. That sentiment is from Wordsworth.

 

 

This is the inside. these papers are from Creative Imaginations a very long time ago. I almost picked a wine theme to go with them and seen the butterflies in that teacup and thought those colors look ok together. 

Now this is a second card for Kathy's challenge yesterday which was supposed to be "tasty food" for which I made a coffee card and I decided I had time to do another one and follow the rules this time. that felt cupcake was a gift from Janice last May. the sentiment is from Riley & co. and the printed paper is basic grey.
