Fusion #4 - Butterflies!

How are you today?  I'm doing good!  I'm always happy when I'm crafting and playing along with different challenges.  I love creating things and seeing the challenge through different eyes when I see the projects made by the other people who link up projects.  Today I'm playing along with the Fusion Card Challenge.  You get an inspiration photo - this time all those great butterflies, and a sketch.  You can make inspired by the photo or just use the sketch.  I'm always trying to use both.   The circle on the sketch is the button on mine - I just moved the dividing line on the sketch down a bit.  

I pulled out lots of butterfly dies and punches for this one so I could layer them - alternating pattern paper and solids.   I love how the bright colors and mix of patterns look together.   I used some distress ink to color up the edges of the pattern paper butterflies.  It gives them a more solid appearance.

I hope you find some time to play!  The butterflies were fun to work with on this cold winter day here in the Midwest.  Do I feel warmer?  Absolutely NOT!
