Butterflies

This card is 5"x7." I used a dark pink cardstock for the card base. I then cut some shimmery white cardstock 1/8" smaller and mounted it to the card base. The patterned squares are a cardstock sheet from the Flower Shower Stack by DCWV. I cut out six of them to create a rectangle of 4"x6." Three of the sqares had flowers in the middle, the other three were just patterned. I cut out three butterflies from Serenade, all at 1 3/4." I then adhered them to the middle of the patterned sqares. I cut some glittery green cardstock 1/8" larger than the patterned rectangle and adhered that all down to the card base. The sentiment is cut from Beyond Birthdays at 1." I adhered it to the bottom of the card base and covered it in mystic green Stickles to finish it off. This card was made for the following challenges:

  • 365 Cards: "Up in the Air" - incorporate 3 things you might find up in the air on your card

  • BBTB2: Mother's Day 2010 cartridge, specifically one of the sayings (I don't own this cartrigde so I used Beyond Birthdays)

  • Clean & Simple: sketch #134

  • My Sheri Crafts: "April Showers" - I couldn't help thinking of "May flowers" and springtime with this theme, so that's what I went with :)
