The bold & bright colours of this challenge reminded me of spring, so although the weather here is cold and wet (hello winter!), my craft room can be as warm and summery as I like. So with the challenge colours in mind, I’ve stamped some pretty butterflies using the new Butterfly Wishes stamp set and lined them up in rows.

This style of card using the Stitched Rectangle Dies as a frame reminds me of butterflies on display in a museum. I’ve make them fly as much as I can by adhering in the middle of the body and flicking up the wings….

But I’d like to try a card like this again with flying butterflies! I’ll keep it on my to-do list for another challenge!

For the sentiment in the middle of the card, I’ve masked the other words on the ‘celebrate’ stamp with masking tape and inked it up with Versamark and heat embossed in white. I then cut it using the Classic Label punch. To create the banner, I used the end of the same punch. I love when products are so versatile!
