Flutter by Butterfly

Hi Stampers!
I love to watch butterflies as they flutter about my wildflower garden.  They always bring a smile to my face and they dance on the wind and kiss each blossom.  Below is one of the cards my Cheaper Than Therapy club ladies will be making this evening. I really like its clean and simple design (CAS).  It's a CASE of one I saw a while back on Facebook but have lost track of the originator's name.  If I locate the name, I will repost at a later date so she gets the credit she deserves.


Though it may be hard to see in this picture, each butterfly was cut and embossed using Stampin' Up!'s esclusive Beautiful Wings embosslit, adding great dimension and texture.  The bottom edge was hand-torn to create the imagery of a horizon.  Rhinestone Jewels add just the right touch of sparkle. Inside a panel of Pool Party, with a butterfly stamped in Versamark, provides a lovely writing area for adding a personal message.
