This is another card created for the Win-A-Day challenge at the Hero Arts blog. The inspiration was Kristen Ng's Butterfly Birthday. I loved how she used designer paper and cut out pieces to highlight them. I also loved the pearls on the background and the butterfly body. I cut the acrylic sentiment from Anytime Messages in half before stamping to frame the butterfly.
I alco used some clearance-priced designer paper in my design. I cut out additional words from the Kelly Panacci design and added them to the background. The Heart Winged Butterfly was colored with colored pencils and Sakura glitter pen. I finished with a Martha Stewart punch and scattered light blue adhesive gems.

Really beautiful card Stephanie!
This is just beautiful. I sure hope you win. You have so creative and inspiring MOJO to share over there.
now see, i just think THIS ONE should have won a prize, also! it’s **GORGEOUS**!!! but then i suppose they have to let other folk win once in a while too…either that or change their name to “HERO STEF STAMPS”?! (on the other hand, i’d SOOOOO buy anything from a company called that with you as spokesmodel!!!0 🙂
