Another Butterfly Card

I really enjoy creating cards with a butterfly motif. They really make a card pretty. I have 3 friends with birthdays in February so I have to get out my butterfly net and round up some pretty ones for my cards. 

             

Here is the first one for a friend who loves purple.

I used watercolor paper to stamp and color with copic markers one of the stamps from the Anna Griffin 18th Century Garden stamp series.

I used Sizzix's stamp and die-cut "Framelits" butterflies #3 to create the butterflies. Some stickles and copic coloring on the butterflies made them really pop. They were attached to Spellbinders die fancy tag two.

Some paper source 1/4 inch cream ribbon and Martha Stewart's arch punch completes the recipe.

 I am entering this in My Time To Craft #206 'Things with wings' challenge

To Thank You

Being a paper crafter I have a room full of supplies at the ready in case there is a need to make a card fast. I needed a thank you card and this what I came up with on the fly.
It didn't take too long to whip up after I pulled out the big shot, scoring board and fired up the cutting machine❤
Aren't the butterflies pretty? They are from Papertrey Ink's Beautiful Butterflies Die Collection.
The purple paper is called "beet" from Paper Source.
