Anything Goes Saturday – purple butterfly

Anything Goes Saturday – purple butterfly

Hello everyone – wait until you hear what the pattern paper I used for the Anything Goes Saturday – purple butterfly card is supposed to be use for!

Vicky and I share whatever we are designing on Saturday. We have fun sharing our ideas with you. Make sure you check out her project here.

Today’s Project

The name of this pattern paper is Mermaid Dreams. It was designed to be used with nautical images and mermaids. I have not used it for either of those ideas the times I have used it. Today I used it with butterflies as I loved the geometric colorful pattern.

I pulled out one of my really old edge punches for the decorative border at the bottom. I love how this paper can be used for other ideas besides nautical themes. It makes your paper more versatile.

Make sure to watch the video for a tip on using border punches.

I love these butterfly images. Here is another card I made using the same set. This is another butterfly set from the same company that is easy to use also.
