Prepare yourself for this---Cathy COLORED IN that beautiful brocade pattern! Yes, I repeat, she COLORED IN that pattern! She first stamped it with a light grey and went over it with "very sharp" colored pencils. I don't think it gets any more beautiful than this! What an awesome technique which is executed perfectly here! If you look HERE and HERE you can see a couple other of Cathy's cards where she used this same technique.Here is my take on Cathy's card. I was very inspired by her bright coloring on the white cardstock. Also, I drew some inspiration from the fabulous Jennifer McGuire when designing this card.
And it's official, I don't know if I can make cards without butterflies! LOL! I think I am going to need a 12 step program and a sponsor to get me off of this butterfly kick!See you tomorrow with our last card from Cathy! Thanks again for stopping by and leaving your sweet, sweet comments!

Lovely!!! I just stumbled on your website a few nights ago and I've been loving it so far!!!
I'm still as amazed by Cathy's card as when I first saw it...seriously, has she got some skills or what?...not to mention patience! I'm completely charmed by your lovely offering today, the bright colors are the perfect antidote to the cold winter weather outside.
Wow! What a great inspiration from Cathy! You do such an amazing job with this card! I'm laughing about the 12-step program...Dr. John wants to sign me up (his program is called 12-stamp program-starting with the biggest stamp/butterfly and cut down to smaller ones-LOL)!!!
She what?!!! Oh, my! That is fantastic work. And I love your take on it. Both lovely!
2 more incredible cards. I too could not believe Cathy's creation when she first showed it. That takes dedication. And I LOVE all your butterfly cards. keep at it. :)
