Shaker Butterfly
We had a taste of spring here in Kansas last week. I hear that sneak peek is about to end within the next 24 hours with all kinds of interesting weather including more snow. So, what better way to celebrate a taste of spring than create a shaker butterfly card.
Butterflies are an amazing sign of spring. I think when I see real live butterflies flitting around the garden, I’ll believe spring/summer is actually here. Of course that will require flowers to bloom and caterpillars to have the chance to cocoon and metamorphize into butterflies.
Soft subtle colors and butterfly images with sparkling sequins is a perfect taste of spring. If you can’t have live butterflies yet, let’s create them with paper.

This is just so pretty, Angel! The weather has been awful lately in our neck of the woods.
Thanks Cindy. I think this weekend was pretty awful for you again. I was in Lawrence at the Ms. Wheelchair Kansas event and I think we just saw the very edge of it on Friday. I hear you guys had so much worse.
