Spring is just around the corner, so I decided to make a card to welcome the warmer weather. I found this assembled die-cut butterfly in my snippets box - all ready to be used on a card. I embossed the background with an Anna Griffin embossing folder, added a piece of orange and white checked ribbon and a Spellbinders grommet tag die-cut sentiment panel with a Sweet 'n Sassy stamped sentiment. I added a few metal brads just for fun and to use up some of my collection I've accumulated through the years. Here's hoping spring comes sooner than later - I'm ready for warm weather!
I'll share this with
the Shopping our Stash Weekly challenge #406 - spread your wings
Thanks for stopping by and I wish everyone a pleasant and stress-free day!

Beautiful card, Carol! Love your pretty butterfly and your embossed panel! What a nice way to welcome spring! I am ready too! TFS and enjoy this sunny, warm day! Hugs~
Awwww.... I just LOVE this CAS!!! Absolutely love, love, love it! Such wonderful design with that gorgeous butterfly on the embossed panel and the tag on the gingham ribbon!! Your inlay on the butterfly is stunning, how many patience you have had when you made it!!! Beautiful details too with the gem on the butterfly and the brads! This is another masterpiece from you!! You talent always shines, my friend!!!
Sending big hugs and love across the miles!
This is lovely and I'm so glad to see brads. Somehow we think we need to use the newest products and not use what we have. It is refreshing to see the ribbon and brads and how much they add to your card. I love that embossing folder too.
Oh wow that butterfly sure is gorgeous Carol! I love the background with the wonderful texture and the wonderful label sentiment finishes it off beautifully! YES, I'm so ready for Spring and warm!! Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
Fabulous card and like how all the little pieces are put in the butterfly, that took a bit of time and patience, well worth it, like the fun of a jigsaw puzzle!
What a lovely layered butterfly. So glad you Spread Your Wings with us at Shopping Our Stash.
Perfect card, stunning and very inspiring xx
Don't forget our new challenge
"can you handle the pressure", it's all about embossing folders x
Beautiful card! And it did feel like spring today, I am so ready for it. It's hard to believe the ground was so white with the snow just a few days ago. We both used embossing folders today. It's been a while since I have done that. I like the embossing folder that you used. Don't remember seeing that one before. Hope you have a good week! Hugs, Jill
Way to go shopping your stash...brads!! I have some of those stashed away too...I need to bring them out!! Thanks for playing long with our "spread your wings" challenge over at SOS!!
Aww Spring, I believe it's Sunday 😉
Lovely card and impressive at some point you added all the paper piecing then squirreled it away in your box, everything finds The right card eventually. The embossing on white really is pretty as a backdrop... A nice reminder that warmer days are round the corner x
This is beautiful Carol, a lovely spring themed card.
