happy happy butterfly day

This weeks challenge was so exciting to me! I always look for inspiration the HA website and have so for years! Thankfully I made this card early int he week because I became very sick this week and didn't do much at all! I couldn't even find the energy to come and post my card! But I am finally feeling better!

 

This card is inspired by three different things on the HA website. First it's inspired by this card by no other than Jennifer McGuire:

Than it's also inspired by this article on pockets by Shari Carroll:

And lastly this card is inspired by this stamp craft by Lisa Spangler:

The butterfly is a bookmark on a paperclip! I saw the article about making the bookmarks and loved it because it calls for felt on the background, how unique and I have so much felt because I once went felt crazy than never used it! Than I thought it would be fun to make it in a shape of such a wonderful stamp Heartwinged Butterfly! So I was just going to make the paperclip but than had the idea to make it into a pocketcard after reading the article (well my verison the paperclip goes through a hole that is hidden by the Patterned Paper....) Than I found a card that inspired me. I like the Happy Happy Day sentiment because I can use this for anyone. It would make a perfect gift for somone when you want to give them something more than a card! I love that you can't tell and when the card is opened they can see! Check out more pictures!

 

Details of the card:

 

I versarmaked the words Happy on the blue using the word Happy from the Happy Graduation stamp from Cl336. And used the Happy Happy Day from an Archivers Set. And of course Heartwinged Butterfly!
