Butterflies are Free!

Well, not actually, when you consider all the gear you have to buy to make cards. The Cuttlebug was on sale for $50., the butterfly die was probably around $15., the pearls a mere couple dollars, the texture plate around $5.00, the cardstock was a dollar or so, oh yeah, adhesive, the ribbon is a few pennies, the button I won at Magic In the Air and time taken to make the card - priceless! Are we to $100. yet? So if I sold this card, just how much should I charge? Bottom line, don't tell my husband!

I followed the sketch at 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday Day 21.

I like this sketch, clean, neat and easy!

The inside of the card...

I was also inspired by the color challenge at Res-Q to use SU! colors, apricot appeal, regal rose, certainly celery and tempting turquoise. Also inspired by 'two-lips', I mean, tulips!

I was also inspired by the color challenge at Satuday Spotlight to use use your birthstone to chose the colors for the card. My birthday is in June 20 (yes, I accept presents, tee-hee). My stone is Alexandrite or Pearl, so I combined the 2 colors and the Pearl. Alexandrite is a stone that can appear to bluish or reddish. [ummm, kinda fits my personality!]
