I made this rainbow card for a friend's birthday using one of my favourite butterfly dies that had been a magazine cover gift ages ago.
I die cut seven small butterflies from snippets of textured cardstock and set them aside. I used the curved border to die cut a snippet of white card - extending the border so it fitted across the bottom of the card blank. I placed the border into my MISTI and laid the butterflies along the top edge so I could see where to stamp the sentiment. I removed the butterflies and stamped the sentiment a couple of times to get a good depth of colour. The border was then attached to the bottom of the card and the butterflies attached along the curved edge of the border.

To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Spellbinders Borderabilities 'A2 Curved Borders One' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' dies
Clearly Besotted 'Fancy Sayings' sentiment stamp
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Snippets of white matt card, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet textured card
