Beautiful Butterflies Die

Here is a card I am really excited about sharing! I had a sketch envisioned in my head the last few days centering around SU's Beautiful Butterflies die. I was finally able to execute it, and I am rather proud of the finished product =)

Card Recipe

Paper: Peach Parfait CS; Whisper White CS; Soft Suede CS; Pool Party CS; Everday Enchantment DSP (2012 Sale-a-bration)

Stamps: En Francais Background stamp; Something to Celebrate (for inside sentiment)

Ink: Soft Suede

Tools: Big Shot, Perfect Pennants Die; Beautiful Butterflies Die; 1 3/4" circle punch

Accessories: Basic Pearls; 1/8" calypso corral organza ribbon (2012 Sale-a-bration)

Don't you just love the little ribbon tails I added to the butterfly! I used the Calypso Corral 1/8" organza ribbon from the 2012 Sale-A-Bration catalog. Even though I liked the way the buttlerfly looked, I thought it was looking a little plain once I placed it on the card front. I think the ribbon gives it a more whimsical feel! It just goes to show you that ribbon is good for much more than tieing bows!

Since I did not put a sentiment on the front of the card, I decided to stamp it on the inside instead. I used the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment from the Something to Celebrate stamp set (from the 2011 Occasions Mini catalog). The inside is also decorated with a strip of Everyday Enchantment DSP, as well as with a brad from the Everyday Enchantment pack seen in the 2012 Occasions Mini.

I hope all like this card as much as I do!

~Happy Stamping~
