Hi. Thanks for all the well wishes. The cold is still hanging on, but getting better. Cold medicine puts me to sleep, so I haven't been getting much stamping done. I did manage to stay awake long enough to complete this card using Unity stamps.
The butterfly is from Butterfly Beauty and the bamboo and leaves are from Gratitude=Joy. I colored the butterfly with Copic markers and cut it out. The background was sponged with So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose inks. I stamped the leafy branches were inked with Going Gray ink and stamped off once before stamping.The birthday sentiment is from Say it With Flowers (Gina K). I cut it out using nestabilities and sponged it, also. The designer paper is from the Stampin' Up Sale-a-bration mini catalog and the card base is Regal Rose.
Must be time for another nap! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Sorry Theresa, I missed that you've not been well because I haven't been blog checking much this week. Glad you're on the mend now though. Actually, are you sure you haven't sent the 'bugs' over the internet Tee Hee? I seem to have got up this morning with a really tickly chest and throat.
Anyway, that last few cards are beautiful and your tutorials are always great too. My own favourite is the last one because I adore butterflies and I love the colours you used.
Get better hugs!

Love the colours here!
Glad you are getting better, even if it is a little slow!!
Tis is great! love how you sponged it!
Hey Teresa - I have just been browsing your archives and I think one thing I notice is that you do an AMAZING job with sponging. Some time would you share just how you do that? What kind of sponge do you use - how do you make sure you don't get TOO much color but at the same time leave that lovely glow? I'm always afraid to sponge on a "perfect" image for fear I'll mess up the whole thing with that final step. I'd love some tips from you.
Thanks for sharing your awesome creations with all of us.
