Run after Butterflies

For Pink Saturday, I'm thinking about grand gardens. Yesterday you had a chance to see some of my garden, but today I'm dreaming of a water feature. We don't have one and I always wanted to build one. The card today started with a black and white image of the Swan House in Atlanta and it has the most amazing fountain. I am also entering it in Fripperies and Butterflies  for June  because the lovely lady on the front of this card is part of their colorful lady challenge.

I started by water coloring the postcard and of course added some dripping water. LOL. The lovely lady came next with all the green german scrap details. A thick glittery pink trim and  pink rhinestones were layered on the edges. The finishing touches were a butterfly charm with a pink ribbon and the sentiment "Love of my life...run after butterflies."

Hope you will run after butterflies this week.
sincerely, gerri
"Love of my life....run after butterflies."

    Dear Gerri
    It has been wonderful catching up with your recent posts. The weekend disappeared without a trace!
    Glorious pinks and this is most definitely her prize possession, her garden, her home.
    You always marry out the most amazing images with well thought out backdrops.
    You obviously had a fabulous Saturday doing the rounds of the Flea Markets.
    Take care and cannot wait to view your next creation.
    I am in the company of a bevie of Bathing Belles.
    Wishes
    Lynne
