I found some Heidi Swapp ghost butterflies buried in my stash, so I pulled one out to play with. I also had these unloved pearls that I wanted to use. When I ordered them online, I thought they were pink, but they weren't really the right shade. The other day I realized they're very close to Melon Berry, so this card was born.
I always do pearls or rhinestones up the middle of my butterflies, but this time I added some antennae, too. I think it turned out pretty cute.Don't forget to stop by tomorrow. I'll be announcing the first weekly winner of my Sweet Summer Giveaway. If you leave a comment, the winner could be YOU!

super sweet Ann...I have ghost shapes in my hoard too..hmmm...I don't think that I have butterflies..I have hearts and stars...
Those pearls certainly match with the melon berry beautifully! Love that butterfly shape and using the pearls for the antennae looks very cute!
