Stampin' Up! Butterfly Basics

Happy Friday peeps! Thanks for stopping by.

This morning LeAnne made a beautiful card for As You See it. You can see it here. She inspired (as well as encouraged) me to make a card for Challenge #170 - Bits and Pieces.

I rotated the sketch and also chose my colors from Just Add Ink #398..."Colour"

For my card I used the Butterfly Basics stamp set and Papillon Potpourri set (retired), along with the retired Bitty Butterfly punch. I used the second from the largest Stitched Shapes Framelits for my square and circle. 

I ran the Whisper White panel through my Big Shot using one of the Petal Pair Embossing Folders after I had stamped the "meshy" image in Sahara Sand. 

For my "banner tag" I used a small piece of Berry Burst Crinkled Seam Binding.

My butterflies are scraps: Sahara Sand stamped with Berry Burst;  Sahara Sand stamped in Sahara Sand; and White Embossed on a scrap of Berry Burst using Versa Mark ink.

I positioned my embossed butterfly so that it reads "create".  I made this for my downline for when I send her a few products as a gift in March.

The flowers are colored with a Blender Pen and Berry Burst Ink.
