Here we come again with more from There She Goes!! I think this set - Nature of Friendship - is my favorite of the new ones being released (don't get me wrong, I love 'em all, but this one does have butterflies, don'tcha know!)!Since I ended up using butterflies on this card, I decided to put myself a little ahead of schedule and call this card #80 in my "Follow the Butterflies" challenge (see the link and slideshow to the right if you want more info on what I am talking about!). What??? Where did #79 go, you ask??? Actually, I DID do a card #79, but because of the TSG Sneak Peeks this week I haven't posted it here yet!! Stay tuned . . .
I also have to thank my fellow TSG Trendsetter, Denise (aka peanutbee on SCS) for her help in inspiring this card. I've been admiring all of the lovely paper piercing that she has been doing on her cards lately, and then I remembered that I actually HAVE some paper piercing templates from Spellbinders!! DUH!!!

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Basic Gray
