What a beautiful card. Thank you for participating in the blog hop. It is wonderful to “find”, more like “be led to” so many sites of faith. God is great!!!
Such a lovely card ~ have you considered showing your work to some of the butterfly museums like the one in Key West? I imagine this card and others like it would be a great seller in the gift shops.
Blessings
This is a beautiful card! I can’t imagine coloring all those flutterbys! It would make me wonder what God thought as He created all the different ones! Blessings to you! Kim
This card is a gem! It reminds me of my sister who has passed that loved flutterbies! She would’ve loved this!
Laura, your creation is WONDERFUl. You put much time and energy into it and it shows beautifully. Thankful for you to share your faith is such a glorious way.
What beautiful butterflies!
I love butterflies! Since my mom passed away last summer they have taken on a special meaning for me. New life is right. She has her new life with Christ right now! Thanks for the blog hop!
Absolutely stunning!!!!
I’ve never seen such a beautiful butterfly card! This is amazing!
Your card is amazing. Such beautiful butterflies! TFS!
This is what I have been looking for since I got into stamping. Praise the Lord above and on earth. I really needed this right now tonight. You are all so special. If anyone out there has a spirit of mentorship, I need you. I am 56, but disabled and new at stamping. I have quite a bit of tools, etc, but it is just putting it all together that has me baffled.
WOW!!! Love that card.. Beautiful butterflies.
Butterflies are my favorite… it is the symbol of the new life. Beautiful card. Be blessed.
gorgeous blog, loved what you have created
