Flowers and Butterflies Birthday Easel Card...

Hey there, friends...It's mid-week and I'm so happy to share another card to you.  Wow, this is very unusual for me to make another project just after I posted one a few days ago.  But this one is custom-made for a friend of mine whose Mom celebrated her birthday last weekend.  With a little input on colors and what theme she wanted for her card, I was able to make this pretty Easel Card. I used this flower and butterflies image I got from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and colored it with my ProMarker/Prismacolor markers.  Added some inking, glitters, ribbon, dew drops and die-cut butterflies from MS Stamp and Punch Pack (I love it!).  As you can see, I added some embossing too on the base panels of the card.  The sentiment is the message my friend wanted to incorporate with a Bible verse.  And to bring them altogether, I stitched all over this card, inside and out including the envelope-box I made for it.  I am very satisfied with the bright colors of this project and the nice thing was, my friend and her Mom loved it too...So, what y'all think?  This Card is entered into the following Challenges:

1.    Simon Say Stamp featuring "Anything Goes"
2.    Chocolate, Coffee and Cards featuring "Fancy Folds"

Okay friends, this is all for now and hope you enjoy browsing on the pics.  It's a bit gloomy here but I am still enjoying a not extremely hot weather out here.  Aww, don't really want to think of Summer much because it can be 3-digit toasty here.   But thanking God for each day that comes for I know that He has a wonderful purpose continuously unfolding in my life.  Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalm 34:8)
