It took 3 stamping attempts for me to finally realize that the little lines above the wings are part of the stamp. I kept thinking I was rocking the stamp and causing it...I love how Dave made it a part of his artsy, edgy design. Thanks Dave - for thinking of that - and for the wonderful products you've designed!

I adore your beautiful card with the gorgeous butterfly.

Your choice of colors on this card is so lovely. Like how you offset the butterfly with the words beside it. I also like how you put that other die behind the butterfly which added more texture. I have been to that stamp store in Tukwila, and it is awesome!!! Wish I lived closer as I would deplete my retirement income. HA Thanks for the inspiration.

An awesome butterfly & beautiful card! I love the colors & all the texture. Sure wish I lived close to Seattle but, alas, Nebraska is a little to far to go. I'd have no money to shop with by the time I arrived!

Love your choice of colors!!! The Ledger stamp is really neat - I like how you off centered it. So very nicely done!
Thanks for sharing with us!
