Thank You

As you all know we have been having some trying times, lately. But while going through this someone really stepped up to the plate and has really helped out. So I made a card for them to express my sincere gratitude :)

 

I used Flourishes "Apple of My Eye" set with the butterfly from Flourishes "Gerbera Daisies" set, and the sentiment from Flourishes "Humming Along". I colored everything in with my Tombows, and cut it all out with my craft knife and placing it all on popdots. 

I used Stickles "Crystal"glitter glue on the butterfly, with some extra pink glitter thrown in, to enhance the wings. The trick is to only paint the veins in with the Stickles.

 

I used the sentiment from Flourishes "Humming Along" stamp set and used the "Corners and Medallions" stamp set from HOTP (Hot Off The Press) to make the corners of the card a little prettier, instead of leaving them plain.

I am really happy with how the coloring turned out on both apples, leaves and butterfly. I really tried to go bolder, especially on the leaves, because they are always the hardest for me. I want the natural  light and dark depth to show up. I think this is the first time I have been happy with the results of the leaves, and the cute little butterfly :)
