Still More Butterflies and Blog Candy

Here are 3 cards that are variations on a Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist theme.  The Designer Series Paper is from Botanical Butterfly, and both  sentiments are from Beauty Abounds.

For the 2 outside cards I layered the 2 sets of the Butterfly Beauty multiple butterfly die, then snipped off excess butterflies before layering on the card fronts.  I snipped off different ones on each card, which led to different placements for the sentiment.

The middle card has black-and-white butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly DSP that are punched out with the Butterfly Duet Punch.

Something to note:  The Beauty Abounds stamp set and Butterfly Beauty Dies are being sold in the Occasions Catalogue as a bundle, which saves 10%.  Both are carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue, but will only be sold individually.  If you want them, order before June 3 to save 10%.  If you want to save 20% on everything you order, join my team! 

This one I CASE'd from Ann Schach.  It's changed up a bit in the details but is essentially the same.  I'm liking the trend of using Vellum card stock to soften a colour or pattern...I've used it in several cards recently.

Here's another that features this Highland Heather pattern from the Botanical Butterfly DSP:

I hope that this series of cards has inspired you to create with your stash of butterflies!
