Just Experimenting!

Good morning! I have a card to share with you today that is a bit different from my normal style. It actually was a result of playing around in my craft room. Cortney had this pair of plaid shorts that were too small and the waist band elastic was shot. So being the crafty gal I am.....ahem..... decided to recycle them! I cut the butterfly out of her shorts using a Spellbinder's die. I also cut 3 layers of tulle and added that on top of the plaid butterfly. The background was embossed using a Spellbinder's pendant die. I wanted a fairly neutral background so the colorful butterfly would take center stage. The ribbon was from Michaels but it was too white originally, so I Glimmer misted in Coffee Shop. It gave it a more aged look!

............only 17 more school days! (But who's counting? : ) Tonight I am attending our district's retirement party for 3 of our teachers. It is always fun.....but a bit sad too. They will be greatly missed next year! Have a great day!
