IT'S BRIGHT - PUT ON YOUR SUNGLASSES


It appears my picture may not show again, so here is a link:  Yellow and Orange Card Swap

The Yahoo group which I belong to had a color swap this month using orange and yellow.  I debated about joining the swap because I wasn't sure what I would make.  I had these flowers that I had made from a friend's die last summer when we met in Des Moines.  I added the orange glitter glue.  From there I decided to use the large Spellbinders Labels 17 die to cut the two layers.  A strip of orange dotted swiss ribbon was wrapped around the white layer before attaching it to the orange layer.  Then I arranged the flowers - popping the middle one with pop dots. 
I knew I wanted to add a butterfly but the yellow one by itself just didn't quite do it for me so I layered a smaller orange on top with orange glue dots on the body.  I love using punched butterflies along with the sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly. 

My friend, Joyce, was the group member who received this card and I was so pleased to hear she is going to use it to send to a neighbor who could use some cheer.

I imagine many of you will be busy tomorrow getting ready for Easter dinner.  May you have a very Blessed Easter Sunday!  Thank you for stopping by.

I just popped on over to where your card can be seen. WOW! I never would have though to use orange and yellow in the way that you did. Your card is beautiful Vicki. I'm so glad that you put a link up to your card it was wel worth waiting for.

So, so pretty, Vicki! What a great way to use the colors. Love the flowers and butterfly. How cool the card was "recycled," too.

Jackie Bolhuis had a  video a few weeks ago using these little birds. All of these use the layouts use a strip of dsp measure 1 3/4"-2...
