Butterflies in the garden
Hello everyone – I can’t wait until I see Butterflies in the garden but until then I created this card.
I played with a beautiful soft purple from Cut Cardstock for today’s card.
Today’s Project
A friend gave me the Birch Press Design Butterfly Basics dies and I knew they would be perfect for today’s card idea. I did some #ShopYourCraftStash for the other elements of my card and came up with this pretty idea.

This die set cuts out the solid body, the lacy wings, and the body. The Hydrangea Purple cardstock Is a soft pastel color perfect for this card base.

To highlight the body I used some black sparkly gems. This cardstock is great for card bases or die cutting. The background was created using the Cougar White Smooth which I love!
