Wow, it's been a week since I stamped a card! The 4th of July was very nice and all went well. Nice to get back into a routine now. I even cleaned my craft room as that is where my niece and nephew slept. So it was very nice to stamp last night in a clean room... don't you feel refreshed when getting organized!!Anywhoo, on to the card! This card was inspired when we did a bit of shopping over the weekend. I seen a framed print I just loved and came up with this idea for a card. Giving it a soft serene feel, using my Top Note and border punch. And you know how I enjoy butterflies!! Which I did the Rock'n Roll technique.
I traced around the butterfly and filled in the flowers with my Sakura Gelly Roll pen to give more sparkle. Click on the photos for a closer look. The weather is gorgeous here in Minnesota. Nice cool nights and bearable heat during the day time. Enjoy your day my stamping friends and think summer fun!!
SMILES... Michelle :)

Hi Michelle, Just found your blog and your work is great. I love the card you made with the Plant embossing folder. It is beautiful.
Love your top note, super job.

You can't go wrong with your Top Note die and butterflies!!! Beautiful card, Michelle... so happy and sunshiney, just like you. Such pretty DP and ribbon... it's all good!
I'm glad you're enjoying nice summer weather. After the AZ heat, it seems downright cool here in Riverside. (lol) At least the nights get down in the 60's, which is so refreshing.
More later, dear friend.

Oh la la! This is gorgeous! Love your color choices. The butterfly is the absolute perfect touch for this card. I love that ribbon, the texture is quite unique. Great...great...great...as usual!
Beautiful, Michelle! Love the rock and rolled butterfly and the little details you added!! Gorgeous card!
Very pretty colors. Another great use of the top note. I like your new border punch too. What is that brown paper at the bottom? It looks like it has slits cut through it. Gives it a very bamboo feel.
