- Patterned paper – Basic Grey “Out of Print: publication”
- Border punch – EK Success Edger Punch “Morocco Lace”
- Stamp – Hero Arts “Flourish Birthday”
- Chipboard adhesive butterfly – K & Company “Flora & Fauna Butterfly”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
This is a wonderful sketch over at Clean & Simple Stamping right now: Clean and Simple Sketch #184. The overlapping of border punched strips is very effective and can make really amazing designs. Now that I tried this punch I want to try some others! Depending on the punch it can be nice with patterned papers, too, but there was too much detail in my chosen punch to make that work well in this case. Thanks for stopping by today.

I made this card with the current Clean and Simple Sketch #183 in response to the Midweek Throwdown Challenge at Operation Write Home. This week’s challenge was to use a green and yellow color palette. I really like this sketch and the pieces just fell together for me from my stash! Plus I was able to use one of the stamps from the new Darcie’s set I just got, which I think will be cheery for more Operation Write Home cards to come. Thanks for visiting today.

I made this card for the OWH Sketch Challenge #107. It is a very basic sketch that you can do a lot with. I played with Ranger Distreess Inks again on this card, applying the ink to the edges of all the paper with a lot of shading on the butterfly image. Thank you for stopping by.

- Die cuts – made from Memory Box “Vivienne Butterfly”
- Stamp – Hero Arts “Everyday Sayings”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
This is a very simple card. I layered two butterflies cut from the same cardstock as the base card and glued them together. I also did the same with a strip of cardstock that ran vertically along the right-hand side. Then I heat embossed the sentiment at the bottom. These lacey die cuts make the effect of the monocromatic card work really well. Thanks for visiting today.
