First Mother's Day card of the season

Even though Mother's Day is not until May, I figured why not get started on a few Mother's Day cards and get the ball rolling!

Card Recipe:

Paper: Cajun Craze CS; Marina Mist CS; Peach Parfait CS; Whisper White CS; Paisley Petals DSP

Stamps: Something to Celebrate, Just Believe

Ink: Marina Mist; Chocolate Chip

Tools: Butterfly punch

Accessories: Basic Rhinestones; Marina Mist Satin Ribbon; Chantilly Lace ribbon

I wanted to make a card that was pretty, yet simple and cheerful. I have been trying to find creative ways to use SU's butterfly punch, so I thought I would use it to add embellishments to my card. I punch three butterflies - 2 from Peach Parfait CS and 1 from Marina Mist CS. So they wouldn't look so plain, I stamped each butterfly with the flower image from the Just Believe stamp set. Lastly, I used SU's rhinestones to create the butterfly bodies. I love how the rhinestones sparkle!

Also, I tried something new with my ribbon....I'm a little disappointed that I didn't think of it earlier. I just layered the Chantilly Lace ribbon over the Marina Mist satin ribbon. A simple technique that I think addes a little bit of variety to the card. This card may look a little complicated, but it actually isn't! Which is great so I can easily reproduce this card and change the sentiment to make suitable for any occassion!

Hope you like it! Happy Stampin!
