I actually made and photographed this card more than 2 weeks ago and would have posted, but sometimes your life gets pushed in a different direction. I'm taking few minutes to get this posted so I can enter Power Poppy's power-spark-june-challenge-go-ahead-bug. For their Junebug Challenge, all you need to do is use a 'bug' on you card and in my case the bug (butterfly) is the the card.
Surprise! I used my Silhouette Cameo for the shape of the card. If you don't own one these amazing machines, you may not know that you can use it to edit a digi and set it against a digital background
like my new favorite, black gingham. This butterfly easal card was purchased from The Silhouette Design Store. The pretty sunflowers are from Power Poppy's Sunshine of My Life digital collection.
I colored the sunflowers on the front with Copics and chose not to color the inside. On the front I accented the gingham with a black frame. The only other items used are pearls and a pretty black bow from Paper Studio. The sentiment is My Sentiments Exactly! H162.
The card below follows the basic technique as the butterfly only this time the shape was taken from the digi itself. Did I tell you this machine is amazing?
Final thought. Have you said "I love you" lately?

Gah! What fun shaped cards! I love the pop of colour and gingham! Awesome work! Thanks for joining us at Power Poppy this month!
OMG! These are both amazing! Awesome doesn't describe them! I had no idea you could add gingham to a digi .....now I want a Silhouette too!
Oh, wow, I'm stunned! There I was... ooohing and ahhhing over your sunflower butterfly card, and then along comes that incredibly cute retro phone. Double wow! LOVE that black and white gingham! I can do the digis on gingham in Photoshop, but the shapes... I do not need a Silhouette... I do not need a Silhouette...
Oh, Gail, you've done it AGAIN! I absolutely and completely LOVE this card, and I love that the card itself is the bug! Hehe! You are so clever and brilliant in using your Silhouette! I so want to use mine the same way. I need to get over the fear and just work on another project with it. Anyway, this is beautiful with the black gingham (who does not LOVE gingham???), and I love how you've so beautifully colored your sunflowers! I LOVE it!! And I love YOU! You are such a wonderful friend, and I love that you share your gifts with us!! Big hugs and love, and keep cool! xoxo
