Years ago I bought a huge 2" thick paper pad of all black and white designs for a couple dollars at Tuesday Mornings which has now sadly closed. The cover was missing so I don't know who made it, but in spite of sharing a lot of the papers, I have tons of it left along with a hefty bag of snippets. I used a couple of those snippets to make this card, adding another white snippet border done with a MS Doily punch. The butterfly die was an unbranded gift from a friend which I cut with snippets of white, red, and black and covered with glazed accents to hold all of those bits in place. The sentiment panel is an older die cut from Whimsy with a Gina K designs sentiment. For a little sparkle, I added some black Nuvo dots on the punched border.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
The Snippets Playground Challenge 486 - must use snippets
the Triple B August 2024 Challenge - Birds, Blooms, Butterflies, use 1 or all 3
The Four Seasons August 2024 Challenge - A/G Summer
Love Those Pretty Papers August Challenge - use designer papers
with an optional theme of summertime
Thanks for the visit, and as always, I wish you the best day ever.

So elegant! Love the color combo and that pretty butterfly, Carol! It always makes my heart happy to see the MS Doily punches being used! Remember when they were the big craze years ago?! I am loving the black & white paper, too! Happy Monday and may it be a wonderful day for you! :)
Wow, that butterfly is quite impressive! Love the b&w background as well as that sweet doily border!
The snippets of paper and lacy border are great to showcase the super butterfly. Lots of patience needed to infill all those tiny pieces 😊
Gorgeous card, Carol. Black and white paper is always lovely, but somehow hard to find! Have a great week! Hugs!

Great layout and well done for using up some older papers. Love how you did the butterfly.
Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse later - there's a blueberry muffin with your name on it waiting for you! xxx
A Butterfly never fails to please Carol, very pretty.

Fabulous card Carol - love the black and white with the real pop of colour from that beautiful butterfly. I have a load of MS punches, which sadly I never think to use. Memo to self - use punches more often!
Hugs

Fabulous card, great color combo and like how you did the butterfly piecing!
Our Tuesday morning closed a few years ago also, so sad. Love how you added plain cardstock and used the pretty scallop border between them and the nuvo drops are a nice touch, love how the butterfly pops!
Gorgeous butterfly and great layout too.
