Hi Everyone!
I’m back to share my second card with Splitcoastampers. The theme again was “Songs from the Heart” and the song that came to mind was “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle.
My dad passed away before I turned 2 so that song has always had a soft spot in my heart. There’s an absence that I’ll never know how to fill but I think good and true relationships are just as important.
I stamped the image and sentiment with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with copic markers. Something new I tried on this card was bordering the image with the soft blue – I really do think it adds some pop to the image.
I added some Wink of Stella clear shimmer to the butterflies and finished the card with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX die from My Favorite Things. I know I always say my cards are simple – but they really are! The coloring is always the most time consuming part and is the part I love most.
These elephants are too cute! I hope you enjoy!

Oh, Caly, I just love these sweet little elephants, and I love the sentiment! I didn’t know you lost your dad when you were just two years old, and I can understand why you would LOVE this song. I love it too, and I gave my own dad that book that he dearly loved. He was a precious dad, and you are right about filling your life with good and true relationships. I am quite sure that you could never fill the void that your dad would have filled, but know that you are dearly loved by many and that he would be ever so proud of his sweet girl! You are a sweetheart! Big hugs, sweet friend, and I am so blessed we are friends! xoxo
