Beautiful Spring Butterflies {Congratulations Card}

I love how this turned out so cheery and bright. The base is Chocolate Chip card stock, layered with Barely Banana.

The focal point of the card is the row of little butterflies mounted on color coordinated circles. I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and the Big Shot to make them in 4 colors: Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Barely Banana, and Kiwi Kiss. Whenever I use the Beautiful Wings Embosslit, I save all the extra butterflies in a little ziploc baggie and when I need them, they’re ready to go.

I mounted each tiny butterfly on Whisper White punched out with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. Then, I layered each white circle on the corresponding color, punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. Those are adhered to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.

As for the sentiment, I stamped “congratulations” from Well Scripted in Chocolate Chip ink below the butterflies. I added a strip of Chocolate Chip card stock that I punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch and adhered it behind the Whisper White layer.  Around the edges of the Whisper White, I paper pierced to give it definition. Finally, the Regal Rose 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon was tied around the White layer and adhered to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.
