Cherry Pie Butterfly!

 

Hi friends!

I created a card for an Instagram hop called Just One Color ...

and the color for March is red.

When I think of red, I think of 

 Christmas, Valentines, Taylor Swift (let's go RedTV!)

But this is like .......... March.

I tried to thunk ~ and thunk some more ~ on a card idea

but in the end just couldn't wrap my head around one!

So I grabbed my supplies to just play.

I stamped, die cut, ink blended and watercolored

and put it all together to create something.

And it was kinda neat!

 Until ...

I looked at it and said that literally looks like Cherry Pie!

And now I cannot unsee it, LOL!

Introducing Cherry Pie Butterfly!

I even sugar dusted the wings :)

I added a second butterfly underneath to give it 

structure and more dimension.

I'm glad I did ~ I think it gives it extra beauty.

Have a cherry-licious day!

Happy April!

March FLEW by in a blur

and here's to a blooming new month!

Today I'm sharing my monthly card for my 

card series:  One Plus Twelve

and this is the 7th year of this challenge 

where I take 1 stamp and use it 12 times, 

one for each month!

For 2025,  I chose Close At Heart, a collab stamp and die

from Alex Syberia and Simon Says Stamp.

This was released during their Stamptember celebration

and I can't tell you how much I adore it!

I did hues of pink this month, thinking of Easter and spring.

I colored it with prismacolor markers and added a little touch

of gold and vellum for a little extra drama :)

My friends are joining me again  this challenge this year

and you can see  Jeanette's card and Barb's card on their blogs.

Thanks for stopping by!
