Hi everyone ~
Summertime is such a fun time of the year! Sunshine, blue skies and longer days to enjoy at the beach are just a few reasons to love it. Adding to the beauty of the season, are butterflies in all colors and sizes, so it’s no surprise that I was inspired to reach for my Hero Arts Butterfly & Flower stamp and Die Set to create my first card.
I stamped the butterfly in Memento ink and used Copic markers to color it in. Then, I embossed the background with Swiss Dots, leaving the center oval un-embossed to stamp the sentiment from the Remember stamp set. Lastly, I cut the white panel down 1/8 inch on each side, added a black border and die cut the small butterflies to match.

Wow, Barb, both cards are stunners! Love those oranges.
your feather card is fantastic and love the colors you used - have seen many ways to make enamel dots - so how did you do yours?? and you need to tell LIn also as she needs blue ones like in her scramble card today.
I love how you left the center of your first card un-embossed! Beautiful butterflies too, Barb! And your feathers look fabulous! Love those colors!
You are such an awesome member of the DT, Barb! These cards are gorgeous in every way!! Everyone loves butterflies and feathers so these are wonderful inspiration cards for any number of occasions! Hugs, Darnell
Awesome cards, Miss Lady!
Two fabulous cards Barb! Loll xx
Beautiful cards! Love your vibrant coloring and how you embossed the dots only around the sides....so clever!
Wowza! These are both unbelievable gorgeous Barb, but the first one with the butterfly just takes my breath away! You colored is so beautifully and I love the way you embossed the background, but left the oval for the sentiment. I have seen how to do that, but now have forgotten. Have to look that up! Very neat technique! Beautiful work my friend! I hope you have a lovely week!((Hugs))
Oh my, such wonderful colours, colouring and sponging, Barb ... fabulous inspiration! Anita :)
