Wintry Butterflies

Mornin' y'all!  How are you enjoying this weird time-outside-of-time that is the week between Christmas and New Year?  Hope you're relaxing and only doing fun things : )  I will be doing some baking today and we're going over to our friends' house tonight for fun and games (read: Uno).

I said I thought I might take some time off and I didn't do it because I kept finding challenges to play with and here's my card for today:


I used the Atlantic Hearts sketch:


My circle is a bit smaller but it was already cut out and in my Balmy Blue file folder so I went with it.  I also used the Color Hues challenge:


I decided to go more on the pastel side and used Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  Of course you can't tell from the picture but I highlighted parts of the butterflies' wings with Wink of Stella to go with the sparkly purple gems.

Well, I'd better take Daph-Daph for her daily neighborhood tour so I can get started on baking after that.  Maybe there will be time this afternoon for a bit of crafting, we'll see.  Cheers!
