Just a Note

Hello!!!

Hope you're having a nice day and the sun is shining where you are! I hope our nice weather continues - the sun doesn't shine for too long here, more's the pity! Just the smallest hint of sunshine and we're all out there in our flip-flops, searching for a patch of grass on which to sunbathe!

Anyway, here's the card for today:



A close-up of those butterflies:


And the sentiment:



I used one of Lucy Abram's sketches here (it's from her sketch week, day 1); just wanted to create a nice simple card with a hint of colour.
I just altered where the sentiment was; it's quite a 'square' looking sentiment, so I didn't think it would look right up by the butterflies. I elongated the sentiment with the pearls.

The butterflies are stamped with the with one of the 'Bitty Background Blocks' from Papertrey Ink - they're wonderful for small embellishments; they add some gorgeous intricate detail.

I just wanted to apologise for the pictures being a bit darker than usual; it's really hard to pick up the pearls when the lighting is brighter!

Hope you like it!

Tasha :)
