Loving my AA #93 DT scripted butterflies 1 layer wonder card on 15 April 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: I've been part of Ally's Angels as a participant before original owner/creator Alessandra ended her ownership. Then Leslie and I became co-owners with Leslie wanting the administrative tasks. So I was the emergency back-up and part of the DT like she also was. Then in late fall 2025, Leslie asked if I'd take over. 

Ebb and flow has occurred continuing on to provide artisans an 'anything goes theme' challenge that works on an offset month-long time frame. 

when: #93 anything goes theme starts April 15 until May 13, 2025

what: Scripted butterflies 1 layer wonder card

notes:

1. white A2 cardstock base with envelope from pack = Recollections

2. background dabbed/pounced ink from = Sweet Sugarplum stampin' pad by SU

3. ink for butterflies = Rose Red stampin' pad by SU

4. ink for sentiment = Walnut stamp pad by Lawn Fawn

5. ink for round stencil/masking area = Tranquil Tide stampin' pad by SU

6. butterflies and sentiment stamps are from 1 set = old set - My Sentiments Exactly

7. the stencil mask = I made my own using recycled packaging and punched a 2.25" circle from it; positioned it on the folded card base with 1 hand and used the other to ink dab/pounce with a cotton ball until the area was filled
