Take a Word--Butterflies


A lovely challenge word this week! Butterflies always make me happy when I see them. They are such magical creatures!

I found this gorgeous blue butterfly on a collage sheet by Candyn29 at Totally Free Collage Sheets Flickr Group. I began with it and the collage just grew into this postcard.

Other pieces came from Dover and Scrapbook Flair ans a Photoshop brush set called Italian Postcards.

    I think this is my very favorite! I love the muted colors and the shades of blue and aqua. Great work!

    I love mailart and I love butterflies so how lucky are we to see both in one artpiece. Your butterflies are exquisite, Linda. The collage design is so creative and beautifully done. Great work.
