My card layout today is Freshly Made Sketches #49. I used the New Beginnings stamp set by Sweet n Sassy Stamps for the sentiment and also used the coordinating New Beginning Butterfly Die Set to cut out my butterfly shapes. I embossed the white background with the Polka Dots embossing folder and embossed the black strip with the Seeing Spots embossing folder. I stitched around the edges. I cut out the butterflies with Echo Park Victoria Gardens paper. I added a rhinestone to each one to finish my card off. It's kinda clean and simple, but I really like how this card turned out!
Here is an up-close shot of my butterflies.
Challenges I Used:
Poodles Parlour - winged things
Cute Card Thursday #231 - bling it up
