I used a Memory Box butterfly die to create this card. I used espresso, red, orange and daffodil cardstock, and cut 3 butterflies, inlaying the colorful bits to the espresso panel, and just using the daffodil die cut to give it fluttering wings. The Nestabilities beaded oval die was cut from off-white card, and while still in the die, I colored in the beads with a Copic. The stitched oval die is by GinaMarieDesigns, and the whole card is placed on vanilla cardstock. I will add a sentiment to the inside when it's time to use this card.
I'm sharing this card with the Butterfly Challenge #79 - L is for Layers and/or the color cream.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope your day is a good one!
