Butterflies in the Garden, Papillon Potpourri

I spent some time in my gardens last week pulling the weeds that seem to grow from nowhere! My garden is my second happy place, my stamp studio ranks number one. I love listening to the birds &watching the butterflies in my garden this time of year, how about you? I find it so relaxing watching them flutter weightlessly from flower to flower as if they were moving to a melody. I am so happy to also see more bees in the garden this year than last and discovered that our neighbor behind us is a bee keeper! I will be planting more flowers next year to attract them too! I was so happy to see several bee keepers in the area but really happy to find one in our backyard. I use raw honey as a sweetener and visit our towns Farmers Market to purchase local honey  several times a year.

Spending time in the garden inspired me to create a card with our Papillon Potpourri & Everything Eleanor stamp sets. Another look at one of the patterns in our English Garden Designer Series paper brought me back to the garden. This card uses a basic card layout and is so simple to create.

Papillon Potpourri imageI used Blushing Bride, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, and Marina Mist for my color palette. The Modern Mosaic embossing folder gave the feel of a garden trellis. The “Hello” comes from the Endless Birthday Wishes set, this set is a must! If it isn’t on your Wish List yet be sure to put it on it because I am finding it a go to set for sayings.

I hope you spend some time outdoors enjoying watching butterflies in the gardens around you. I know you will find it relaxing and inspiring.
