Butterfly Flourish

Happy Spring everyone!  Well...spring may officially be here, but the weather is not cooperating with the new season!  I'm ready to say good-bye to winter, so for my new sample for The Sweet Stop, I grabbed some butterflies and spring colors!

Creative Nugget:  I found this Graphics 45 patterned paper in my stash and thought the Butterfly Flourish stamp by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps would work well with this week's sketch.  Both sides of the DP were used to make the three panels on the card front and were stitched to Early Espresso card stock.  This was mounted to a Vintage Cream card base.  The butterflies were stamped on Vintage Cream card stock, colored with Copic Markers, and mounted to an Early Espresso Gold Labels Four Die.  An extra set of butterflies were cut out and popped up for dimension.  The sentiment is from the new Be Encouraged stamp set and was cut with a Spellbinders banner die.  An organza brad and some pearls finish the card.

These stamp sets were used to create this card:
