My original plan was to use some bluebells on my card (thus the colour combination) but they were too small for the look I was going for so I scrapped that idea and succumbed to using this gorgeous butterfly die by PTI. I have had it on my wish list forever but no more! It is mine. All mine LOL!
Added my favorite word as I am looking forward to 2015 with "joy" in my heart, and since something was missing I used the Sprightly Springs die to add a two vellum leaves under the butterfly for a bit of grounding. Sorry, but I have no clue about the embossing folder as I had seen it at my neighbours house and liked it so she embossed a few copies for me.
All the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and you can also view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples. Should you wish more details on the Mojo Maker's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.
On to week two of 2015 and I must say I am much more rested and ready for this week. A twelve hour sleep on Friday night and a ten hour one on Saturday along with a very quiet weekend has recharged this introvert's batteries and I'm raring and ready to go.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Beautiful. Love the colors and the pretty butterfly. Glad you chose to use the butterfly, it is perfect with the colors.
ReplyDeleteThat embossing is perfect with your card!! Love the blue you used too
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you are more rested this week and better into the swing of things. I'm not quite there yet:( I've had some very busy days and have missed a number of challenges so far and can't wait to get back to them.
ReplyDeleteYour card today is so pretty. I love that big butterfly. What a wonderful addition the Sprightly Sprigs make. They look like soft trails left behind. The "joy" is perfect here too and I love that you've continued to use it past the Christmas season. It should be a year round sentiment shouldn't it? ;)
Lovely card, Marisa! I have to try cutting those little sprigs in vellum - I love the look :o)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Marisa, love the butterfly!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun of looking at your pretty card...someday I'll have time to move from looking to playing along again. TFS that you struggled a bit with this card; that is an encouragement. Best of all you had a great save with such a lovely card. The vellum leaves are fantastic, and I am so happy that the butterfly die has moved off your wish list!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love those vellum leaves!
ReplyDeleteWow this is gorgeous I love the embossING in the back with the vellumn in the front
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful card makes me think of spring, Marisa! Which of course, you will see much sooner than I will :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Marisa! Your vellum leaves are a fantastic touch.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, layout, and images!, hopenyou're doing well!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the touch of vellum and that butterfly is so pretty! You can never have enough flowers or butterflies in your stamping stash!
ReplyDeleteIt's isn't surprising to see a beautiful butterfly fly on your card when I come around. Love the layers of this card.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are rested, sometimes sleep just needs to be done. :) All is well over in my world and I hope yours continues to have daily doses of joy!
Love your card and can see what you wanted that die Marisa! Super job as always and I love coming by and checking on you!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Marisa! Butterfly is totally gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSwooning, swooning, swooning! Keep succumbing to that stunning butterfly, because you are working magic with it, and bringing joy to all of us who see it! Gorgeous card! Speaking of bringing joy: thank you soooo much for your note and book recommendations. I love the website you suggested, and the book will soon be mine! All mine *grin*! Proper note heading your way once I'm back home (leaving Sunday...already been here a month...and oh, what a month...). Writing to you will keep my spirits lifted!

That butterfly is been on my wishlist forever too but either it's out-of-stock or my shopping cart is already too full to add one more thing. But this card is going to put it in my cart. How lovely with those vellum sprigs and the soft blues and yellows. LOVE the embossed background and the simple folded corner!
ReplyDeleteI did some catching up on my sleep this weekend - had a 2 hour nap yesterday and I feel much better. Glad you caught up a bit too. Your card is lovely. I love the velum and that butterfly is stunning. Beautiful work. Hugz
