Flourishes and Butterflies

Hi there! Did you know that you can use two of the flourishes from Papertrey's Fancy Flourishes stamp set to create a butterfly? There are two larger scale flourishes in the set that are mirror images of each other so you can easily stamp them both, add a few buttons for the body and voila! A butterfly! I added some dots in the background, stamped in summer sunrise and the pretty sentiment is from Birds of a Feather.

Hope your week is going well. The weekend is almost here! Yay.

I'm enjoying being able to have the Olympics on while I'm designing this week. Are you watching?

Have a goodie,

{Spread Your Wings supplies}
Paper: berry sorbet, rustic cream
Stamps: Fancy Flourishes, Birds of a Feather, Polka Dot Basics II

Hi there! I'm Dawn McVey and I'd like to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. My hope is that you'll find this place warm and welcoming! I'm an artist with a heart for God. I worked as a graphic designer for ten years, before starting my own art business. I love color and all things vintage! My handsome husband, Bart, is also my best friend. I was extremely sick for more than 8 years and eventually had a rare small intestine transplant on October 28, 2017! During those years of being so sick, I got lots of practice learning how to choose joy in the midst of extreme suffering! ;) I'm so, so grateful for all that the Lord has done in our lives to bless us and to bring me to a place of health! He used that long season of illness to draw us closer to Him and we've also seen Him use our transplant story in amazing ways, to pour faith, hope and joy into the lives of others. Those years of struggle were so hard, but I wouldn't trade them because I can see how He was with us every step of the way and how He was using every bit of it for our good and His glory. My hope now, is that I can encourage you to choose joy in the midst of your own struggles. While you're here, I hope you laugh or smile or find some inspiration and encouragement. I hope you enjoy your time with me and ultimately, I hope you see some of HIM while you're here. He is everything. Much love, friends…
