As we're away in our campervan next weekend, I've spent some time making cards for the next few months. I made this card for a friend's birthday using the colours from the Butterfly Challenge.
I trimmed a piece of cream hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the Springtime butterfly frame from the top of the card. I placed the panel into my MISTI and stamped the sentiment a couple of times to get a good deep colour. I attached a snippet of paper behind the aperture before attaching it to the front of the card blank. I die cut the Springtime frame from green textured card and inlaid it into the aperture. I die cut a large butterfly and two smaller butterflies from purple textured card and attached them to the front of the card.

To make this card I used:
6" x 4" white hammer card blank
Practical Publishing Memory Box 'Springtime Butterflies' dies and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly'
Clearly Besotted 'Simply Said' stamps
Versafine Imperial Purple ink
Snippets of white hammer card, purple and green textured card and Lili of the Valley 'Antebellum' paper
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - Anything for a Birthday
Butterfly Challenge - I have used two colours (Asparagus and African Violet) with my butterflies
CAS on Friday - Butterflies
