This card was made by ink blending over heat embossed butterflies from a favorite Verve set. After completing the ink blending, I stamped a few tiny butterflies in shades of yellow and splashed a few water droplets over the dye ink. Over the subtle background are three stacked Memory Box butterflies for a little dimension. The pretty scalloped rectangle is from Newton's Nook Flags and Frames.
The scripture from Ecclesiastes was also included in the Verve stamp set and is perfect to honor God and the sweet girls with Turner Syndrome. Turner Syndrome is a rare condition that affects 1 in 2,500 females, with only a small percentage of them surviving. The talented gymnast Missy Marlowe is has Turner Syndrome, and there are some facts about her here.
Thanks for stopping by and take care,
Christine
