Never Enough Butterflies and Blossoms

It seems that I can’t get enough of butterflies and flowers.  I think it has to do with my giddiness at the realization that spring is finally here. The mere mention of the word “spring” makes me smile…just like images of flowers and butterflies.  I guess that is why I seem to reach for these images over and over.  Can you stand one more?  I can’t promise that it will be the last time I use them either. *wink*

I created my project for today’s Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge.  Here is the sketch Taylor provided the sketch crew. 

TESC110 I broke open Taylor’s March Taylored Expression Key Ingredient kit that is full of great patterned papers and embellishments.

TESC110-Butterfly-Trio

I stamped the flower from SU!’s Vintage Vogue set and added the die cut butterflies.  The flower embellishments are a combination of paper and E-line white flowers from Prima that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist.

TESC110-ButterflyCU2

You can see some of the shimmer in the Prima flowers and the dimension from the paper flower that is also die cut and pieced together with foam dimensional adhesive.

Now it’s your turn…would you like to play along?  All you need to do is create a project using the sketch above as your inspiration.   Be sure to visit the Taylored Expressions blog and submit your card link to Mister Linkey. She will choose her top ten "Top Crops" and feature them on her blog next week. That could be you!! Need a little more inspiration? Make sure and stop by the rest of the Sketch Crews blogs to see their most adorable creations.

If you need a bit more inspiration, be sure to check out the various interpretation of the sketch by the other members of the TE Sketch Crew.  With each member having their own style, I hope you will take a moment to stop by and see what inspiration they have posted:
