Butterflies.................

Having been to Jenny's SU launch party I was inspried by her lovely butterfly cards so decided to fish out my butterfly stamps and punches.

For the blue card :I uesed a 'dotty' stamp and stamped onto blue card with a dark ink pad, punched out the butterflies using a Family Treasures punch then stuck them onto white card and cut around leaving a white border to make them 'pop'. The backing paper is a K and Co one, SU eyelet border punch and SU scallop circle punch as well as some of the nesting circle punches. Ribbon from stash.
