Good morning and welcome to the beginning of the week! We made it home Saturday evening from our week in Destin, and everything is put away so it almost feels like vacation didn’t happen. Since we have to head back to St. Louis Wednesday morning for the granddaughters’ Fine Art Night at school, we ended up leaving Shelby the canine diva at Megan’s until then. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had one of those split second thoughts of wondering where she is, or starting to call her name to go outside only to remember she is still on vacation herself!
Using Flowers Of Beauty In A Triadic Color Combo!
After I had everything unpacked and put away in my craft room I started thinking about today’s project for my FB Live. I turned to the color wheel and looked at triadic color combos – three shades of color equally spaced on the wheel – to create today’s card. Specifically, I was looking for colors to use for the BUTTERFLY above! What did I settle for??? Pretty In Pink, Boho Blue, and Granny Apple Green. These paper butterfly accents from the mini catalog have been on backorder for a couple of weeks BUT lucky for us, they are carrying over to the ANNUAL CATALOG!
Check The Shine Of This Butterfly!!!
I’ve seen others leaving the butterfly as is – simply white. That’s not for me, cause I love color! To create this beauty I used sponge daubers and added the three colors – Pretty In Pink, Boho Blue, and Granny Apple Green. Once I had everything colored, I laid my butterfly upside down on versa mark and made sure I had a good amount on the colored surface. Dip it in clear embossing powder, use the heat tool to make that shine – beautiful AND easy!!!

Final Thoughts…..
I’m getting antsy about traveling to our favorite green house, Cedar Lane in Blackburn, MO. I KNOW that it’s still relatively early to plant my containers, and I KNOW I’ll be leaving late in April so I’d have to find someone to water. I’d be best off to wait until I’m home the first week of May. But I am READY to see color on our deck. We will see if I cave in the next couple of weeks! Until tomorrow, have a great day doing whatever your love, and God Bless!
