Good evening. I got home in time tonight to play in the Splitcoaststampers Ways To Use It Challenge to use butterflies on our project. I have a little retired Stampin’ Up! butterfly punch that I have only used a few times and thought this was my perfect opportunity to get it out and dust it off. I wanted to create a really simple floral card and pop up a few butterflies. I thought the garden trellis punched border along with the Rubbernecker image from the Wildflowers Collection would be perfect for a clean and simple card. The picture doesn’t show the true Regal Rose color of the flowers and ribbon.
I used Regal Rose and Artichoke markers to color the image and spritzed with water before stamping on the paper. I used a brush filled lightly with Regal Rose and Rose Red reinker to add deeper color and shading.
I am so happy the weekend is almost here. I hope you have a great weekend. I am looking forward to getting my fingers inky.

What a pretty card- love the flowers with the two little butterflies and that trellis border. I love regal rose and rose red, such pretty colors!
A perfect CAS card Kittie, so pretty, I love the colors and design. I’m ready for the weekend as well! Hope you have a good one! {{{hugs}}}
Absolutely beautiful card Kittie. Love the lattice border and the cleanliness of the card.
so pretty, great stamping and love the punch border!
What a bright, uplifting card, it really touches my heart.
Have a great weekend.
oh beautiful!
This is wonderful, Kittie! I have this punch and just can’t get it to work for me. I may just have to pull it out again! Love the CAS
OMG, Kittie….your card is soooo pretty and delicate looking!!! I just love the flowers, butterflies, and that fantastic punched border!!!!
Very, very pretty!!! I can’t quite get my head into spring/summer cards yet, though. I have collected so many flower and butterfly stamps, punches and dies, but they’ll have to wait a while longer as I’m still loving my snowflake and snowman stuff right now… not to mention Valentine goodies. I have so many birthday and anniversary cards to make in February that I know I’ll be ready for spring things once all that is done.
