Inspired by Teresa Abajo 'a wall hanging'

Hello and welcome. Thank you for joining me this afternoon. The sun is in my garden but it is soft, and there is a breeze, it's very pleasant. Sitting in the craft room writing this post is lovely and just what I needed. I hope what every you have been doing has brought you Joy.

Now! Over on the Paper Artsy blog this week Teresa Abajo  brought us this great hanging board. This is my take on that board. I pretty much followed Teresa's steps.

For my stamping I used Hot Pics 1203EZ from Paper Artsy 

I rubbed down the board where I felt the stamping was to dark. I wanted it to stay in the background. I chose this stamp because of the travel theme. I wanted the board to mean something to me. I loved Teresa's use of the butterflies and flowers and wanted to use butterflies on mine. I then remembered one of Emily Dickinson poems about Butterflies and so used part of it for the board.

Here is the full Poem if you would like to read it.

TWO butterflies went out at noon

And waltzed above a stream,

Then stepped straight through the firmament

And rested on a beam;  

And then together bore away        

Upon a shining sea

Though never yet, in any port,

Their coming mentioned be.  

If spoken by the distant bird,

If met in ether sea        

By frigate or by merchantman,

Report was not to me.

Emily Dickinson 

Thank you for stopping by, come back soon
