Welcome to my blog and this weeks entry for the Mark's Finest Papers Challenge. Our challenge was to use at least 3 hearts on our card. I have used the Sentiment and Butterfly from the Lilacs in the Summer stamp set found here. My papers are from the Mark's Finest Papers Neutrals Premium Pack you can find here. All I can say is WOW on these papers. I have never worked with 80lb paper before and I love it!!!
Not only did I use it for this card and envelope combination, but I made a box for my Birdhouse card from the blog hop. I just love how it came up. I am so hooked on these papers. Once you try the 80lb. you won't want to use anything else!
So let me tell you a little about my card. I used the 3 larges dies in the heart nestabilities from Spellbinders. These roses are my first attempt with the Spellbinder Rose creation dies. I used diamond dust glitter on them. I crimped my leaves and embellished with the Martha Stewart frond punch.
I was having so much fun making flowers I just kept making them and loaded up my envelope with them. The paper was just so much fun to play with. I even stamped the butterfly on the paper and tried to coordinated the copic marker colors to make this monochromatic. My son said this card look very old fashioned like a the old tin type photographs. Hope you can join us this week in the challenge. I look forward to seeing your card.Challenges Entered

Carol, I agree with your son about looking like an old time photo. It has a country charm to it. I am loving how you used your '3 hearts' for my challenge - great job! ANd I agree with you about those papers from MFP...awesome thick cardstock.
I was enjoying your comment at my blog about how the only time you run to a store is for some ice cream during the hot summer!! LOL We went to Disney last August, because of great budget deals, but I hated the heat.
OMGness!! This is gorgeous! I love the browns, the flowers, the butterfly. All of it! Thanks for playing along with us at Pattie's Creations Design Challenges this week.
