Butterfly Smooches

This is for the Paper Smooches Sparks September Designer Drafts.  The photo inspiration led me straight to the Good Gab set from Paper Smooches. 

Maybe it is the fall weather but I needed a bright card so my inspiration was simply the beautiful butterflies. :) And Jennifer McGuire used this glitter on a card and it was just beautiful! I tried my own.

Products used: Paper Smooches Good Gab and Sentiment Sampler

Spellbinder dies, my new Ranger Distress Glitter :), Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves

Memories Black ink and some sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!
