It's been ages since I created an "Inspired By..." card. I love to be inspired by things around me, like signs on the road, a little girl's bathing suit, a tissue box, framed butterflies and so much more. I'm at it again with another framed butterfly. I'll show you the inspiration, which came from maybe Better Homes & Gardens (saw so many magazines during my initial recovery after surgery, I just don't know!) in just a moment.
Gonna play along with the Simon Says Stamp challenge: 'Anything Goes' and at CASology's 'Book' challenge.
When my 11 YO was younger, she was fascinated by the whole series of these I Spy books, including this one about butterflies.
For my U.S. friends, enjoy your Labor Day weekend! And for those of you around the rest of the world, enjoy your weekend, too. :-)

I used a sentiment from Hero Arts, and a butterfly from Lost Coast Designs, one of the best sets I received when I worked on the design team at Blockheads.
After coloring and trimming the butterfly, I applied Glossy Accents liberally to it.
