Edited: This card was chosen for one of the Featured Designer cards at Cardabilities Sketch Challenge #70!! Whoo! Hoo!
Another Whoo! Hoo! THIS card made the Top Three at Ribbon Reel!
I took my design inspiration from Cardabilities #70 and their FAB sketch:
I used for the first time a paper pad I hoarded and never used - Prima Botanical. To make my background, I cut a 6 x 6 piece of paper into 4 equal parts and squished it together until it wasthe perfect size for my card. I was able to cover all of the seams except one so istamped over it with a text stamp and zig zag stitched over it. I think it made the perfect frame for my card front!
Here is the banner I made with my Epiphany banner punch and banner bubble caps:
Here is my 3 layered butterfly. In the sketch they show two pins with pennants. I chose to make the pins the antennaes! For the sentiment banners I used the same blue text paper I used on the banners.
These two challenge were VERY inspiring to me. THIS is the style that says "Sue Lelli!"
I hope you like my card!

Big Congrats for being featured at the Cardabilities Sketch Challenge, AND for the Top Three award at Ribbon Reel! Your card is amazing! I love how you were able to piece together the dp to retain the frame, and the stitching to hide the seam looks great! That little banner is so cute, and your butterfly is GORGEOUS--I love the pink cs! And, how creative to make a twine body and pin antennae! I'd give you first prize for the butterfly alone!
Totally sigh worthy! Love that hoarded Prima paper, the little banners...everything!
