Something Lacy with Butterflies

I love this card. There is so much about it that just makes me HAPPY!!! First there is the Lacy background using Tempting turquoise embossing powder, then there is the very delightful Daffodil delight cardstock and the wonderful lattice. The final touch is the very happy butterfly at the bottom. I just grin from ear to ear when looking at it. Who would not like a Something Lacy with Butterflies for a birthday card? I know my friend Leslie would go nuts over the butterfly. Stampin’ Up! went all out with the Occasions catalog this year. Just check out this card. I also made this card with the sentiment of “Thinking of you” for a friend who’s family member is going through some tough times. I am sure it will bring a smile to her face.

To make the background for the sentiment I used the Decorative label punch. After I punched out the sentiment in the whisper white cardstock I punched out two in tempting turquoise and cut them in half one vertically and the other horizontally. I then adhered the horizontal ones first making them stick out about a 1/4 of an inch past the whisper white. Follow the same procedure with the vertical ones. Voila
