There's a wonderful card drive going on over at the Lawnscaping Challenge blog. It's all about the men and women who serve our country and fight for our continued freedom.
Laurel Beard's husband, Christian, left recently for deployment with the U.S. Navy, and she and some friends are gathering cards for him, and for the men and women who serve with him on the ship.
It's such a great cause, and you know you all have lots of cards lying around just waiting to be mailed out, right?! I've boxed up a bunch of mine and am sending them to Laurel tomorrow. Please take some time to do the same! Click here for all the info.
I wanted to make a new card also, to go along with the others I'll be sending. It's very simple, but I love playing with the new Tim Holtz, Summer Distress Inks! For my butterfly, I white embossed it and added some color with Picked Raspberry and Salty Ocean Distress Inks. When blended, they make the pretties purple shade, don't ya think?!
That's it for me today - gotta head back outside to enjoy the rest of this fabulous, summer day! Hope it's sunny where you are too!Thank you, as always, for coming by! Now go and get those cards ready and boxed up for Laurel! :)

Your butterfly is beautiful Barb! I really love the blend of the new distress inks- Tim Holtz is draining my wallet! Enjoy the sun! Hugs, Robin
Lovely colours on the butterfly, Barb! So effective on the white, dotted background.
Barb this is just so eyecatching! I love the simple butterfly against the embossed white card. Did you put your sentiment on before you embossed?
