Punches and Fussy Cut, Flowers and Butterflies

Punches and Fussy Cut

Flowers and Butterflies

Pear Pizzaz Inkpads and

Lost Lagoon Ribbon

Modern Mosaic and the trusty Cuttlebug

These are a few of our favorite things.

OK.  We admit it!  The hints of Spring get us a little giddy, but why not?  Our beautiful flowers stamped with the new Butterfly Basics Stamp Set makes the season feel like a real possibility!  Whisper White on Whisper White Card Stock makes this card stunning!  

Butterfly Basics Circle Cutout Card

We layered the slightly smaller embossed piece over the card front of the same shade of card stock, but not before we fancied it up a bit.  A little round "bite" out of the top layer of our monochromatic background was made with a 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  Any old shape and your choice of embossing folder will do though!  After we marked the cutout area lightly with pencil, ee colored our floral image from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set with Lost Lagoon and Pear Pizzazz Watercolor Markers.  We "huffed" then stamped.  A second stamping of the big flower on Whisper White Scrap, a little fussy cut, and a Dimensional made our pretty Spring bouquet.  Next we tied a neat little knot in a piece of Lost Lagoon 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon (this has to be one of our favorites) and wrapped it from the circle edge around the embossed piece.  Very nice touch, don't you think?  The butterfly accent stamped with Papillon Potpourri is also colored with Lost Lagoon Marker, punched out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch, and decorated with Pearl Basics Jewels.  So nice, and so very easy.  This elegant card will be appropriate for almost any occassion and can be put together in a jiffy!
