Cruisin' was not my favorite paper in the Close to My Heart spring/summer catalog, but the Scrabble tile paper was perfect for a Father's Day card for my Scrabble/Words With Friends loving husband, so I ordered it anyway. The flip side of the paper is an argyle which works well on a sympathy card that I made for a friend whose 14 year old dog crossed the Rainbow Bridge. If you are not familiar with the Rainbow Bridge, you can read the poem here: http://www.rainbowbridge.com/Poem.htm.
The butterfly is one of my favorites from an old Close to My Heart set, Say It in Style. I inked it in twilight and then dabbed black around the edges before stamping. Black opaques make up his body. I love to use butterflies and usually only glue the body, so that the wings can "flap." Sometimes I stamp on the background to make a shadow.
I hope this card brings some comfort to my friend. Thank you for stopping by. Until next time, Hansi
