Beautiful Butterflies

Happy Sunday! Hope you have the opportunity to savor it before heading into the work week.

This week I thought you might enjoy some butterfly pics I took at the St. Louis Zoo’s butterfly house, and one from Shaw Nature Reserve. I love butterfly houses, though it is frustrating to never be fast enough to shoot a picture of a Blue Morpho with wings spread. If you live anywhere near St. Louis, Missouri,  The Butterfly House at Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri is a must see!  I love it when the weather is cool, since it is a constant tropical temp inside. Here is a really neat butterfly identification page.

I just happened to notice that I had a chipboard sticker of the exact butterfly that is my favorite in this album. So I had to make a card with it. The flowers are adhered with a Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, which is a very useful glorified stapler. The butterfly is adhered with dimensional tape as is the sentiment strip. The ink is VersaFine Olympia Green.  The textured papers are from Colorbok.
