Simple Butterflies

I just love punches and coordinating stamp sets! This card is incredibly simple to make, it only takes a few minutes. The hardest part is picking the colors - I chose two of our current InColors, Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush. The butterflies are stamped from Butterfly Prints, then punched out and mounted on the Wisteria, the middle one is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The card is finished with the sentiment in Basic Black, and Whisper White 3/8" taffeta ribbon.

This is a really good basic design, play around with it. Stick with the butterfly them and change the colors, add a background stamp or technique. Add a color for contrast. Try a different punch. Don't have a punch? Cut out small images with paper snips, or punch on squares or circles. Whatever you decide to do, have fun!

Card Ingredients: Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush and Whisper White. Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush and Basic Black. Stamps: Butterfly Prints Stamp Set. Other: Butterfly Punch, Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals.
