Fly away Butterfly

I am back to reality today-well, actually I'm off today but back at home after sending off all my friends last night.  We had a great time this weekend, a little drama with the tornado warnings, but other than that, a LOT of laughs.

One GREAT thing I find about this annual get togethers with friends is how I feel rejuvenated mojo wise.  I got a few cards created while I was there, and I love being able to go ask my friends for suggestions...even if they don't like the new techniques I try :-)

I borrowed this set I think from Sheryl and pulled up the new Sketch for You to Try-my goal is to do them ALL this year so what better way then doing them as soon as they are posted.  I didn't have my Copics so I borrowed Chera's watercolor crayons and used those.  Chera also suggested that I use a coffee filter for my butterfly as I wasn't happy with the first 3 I tried (different colors).  See, how would this card have turned out if I had not had friends there???  Buttons were borrowed from Heather and Lisa gave me input on the design.  I borrowed the ribbon from Mary Jo and the designer paper...well that was my new purchase from Archiver's.

The colors came from the current CR84FN challenge to use yellow, grey and kraft.

Hope you enjoy your Monday!
