Pretty Papers

 

A nice easy card today, making the most of some pretty paper and a couple of stamps.  This paper is part of the Summer Breeze collection from First Edition, and has lots of sparkly detail.  All I have added is the butterfly and the sentiment.   The butterfly is stamped and heat embossed, then coloured in shades of orange.  It is one of the Fanciful Butterflies from Sweet Stamps, while the sentiment is one of the Elegant Greetings from CC Designs.

The sun is shining this morning, and with luck the temperature might rise above freezing!  Maybe, just maybe, we could see  some snow disappear!

Some challenges for my card:

Sweet Stamps - #157 Anything Goes 
Through the Purple Haze - #29 Embossing    Top Picks
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes

Creative Card Crew - #55 KISS (Keep it Simple & Sweet)
