Embellish with Butterflies!

LOVE it that Embellish's new challenge calls for the use of butterflies--those of you who follow my blog know I can't get enough of my Hero Arts Winged Friends digital stamp.  The colour are also fab as always!


I'm taking a stand against Copics!! . . . I know, I know, many of you LOVE them [sorry], but I can't justify spending the money on them, especially when I'm happy with the results I can achieve with much cheaper artist markers and pencil crayons.  I'm frugal about everything I buy, and I get a thrill out of finding the cheaper alternative (especially if I can "make" the alternative).  I love how my limey green coloured butterfly is so vibrant and "summer"y.  I feel like making myself a lime-flavoured drink right now . . . it's a holiday here in Canada today, it's gorgeous outside, and it's lunch time, so I may just go do that!


Thanks 4 your time!

  5. Tammy, I'm with you re: the Copics! We're retired, and when a marker costs almost as much as some stamps, I'm drawing the line :)
    Love this card - wonderful interpretation of the colors. And now you've made me thirsty for limeade!
