- Stamps – “Sweet Butterflies” by Hero Arts; “Imagination” by Postmodern Design
- Patterned papers – Basic Grey “Blush” collection
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Added ribbon and used a corner rounder as well. Punched out butterflies with 1″ square punch (Paper Shapers-EK Success). Popped-up butterflies with foam squares. Edged elements in Creamy Brown Colorbox Chalk ink.
I used Card Positioning System’s card sketch for this week: #207. This is my interpretation but I’m not overly satisfied, so I may try again. I really like the little triplet of images in the pattern. It is a nice, simple design.
