Butterfly Wishes with Forever Flourishing Dies

 I thought that I'd try a card that fits in a business sized

envelope, which is currently a "thing".   My next one will

be horizontal, rather than vertical, given how tall these

cards end up being!

I really like the Butterfly Wishes set on page 16.  The sentiments

are beautiful and I tend to use them often.  I like that

oriental looking branch, with pretty butterflies.  In this

example, I colored the butterflies with Wink of Stella,

although it is difficult to see.  I used In Colors that

will be retiring in 2021.

I added a Brushed Metal fern from the 

Forever Flourishing dies on page 175.  The card

needed a bit of sparkle.

Sailing Home with Smooth Sailing Dies

 Some sets are clearly classics, because they are so

powerful in the way that they speak to a recipient. 

That is the way I feel about Sailing Home on page 31,

with the coordinating Smooth Sailing dies on page 182.

I pull this bundle out often, for those situations where

words are hard to come by, or things are tough.

I added a couple strips of the Plaid Tidings DSP

(page 57 of the Holiday Catalog), to give a feeling of water.
