I asked Darnell if she was still hosting the NBUS Challenge, but she said it had run its course and was now supporting a new challenge called Twofer Challenge. So I headed over to this new challenge and decided to jump in and play along. Below are my submissions for the May Twofer Challenge. 
The first card is a CASE of a lovely card created by Laurie Schmidlin for Spellbinders. Her card is here.
Due to the size of the butterfly and to retain the overall feel of Laurie's card, I made this card size A6 instead of the normal A2. I added a vellum layer to soften down the background stamping a bit, and went a bit overboard on the sequins. The butterfly is glitter paper colored with Copics.
The sympathy card base is a very soft blue/green, however it looks a bit gray on my computer. The butterfly was colored with Copic markers and the background was stamped using VersaMark and left to dry.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day. My son is treating me to a nice dinner tonight. Until then, I think I might take a stab at the current LIM challenge.
Thank you for stopping by,
Carole
