Butterfly... Just Because

This is a card I made for my parents - I like to send them a card every week or so "just because."   I upcycled this little butterfly tag by fussy-cutting the butterfly from one tag and layering it onto another, with the wings folded up to give dimension.  I affixed the tag to embossed blue cardstock, mounted on slightly darker blue cardstock, mounted on a white card base.  I stamped the sentiment in blue on a white scrap, trimmed, and mounted on a trimmed blue scrap.  Lastly I added two butterflies punched from an orange scrap and accented all three butterflies with blue gems.  Here are the supplies used:

• Stamp:  Sentiment (Sunshine Design)
• Ink:  StazOn Azure
• Cardstock:  Recollections, Walmart
• White card base:  Staples
• Embossing folder:  Cuttlebug Victoria
• Butterfly tag:  Michaels
• Butterfly punch, gems:  Dollarama
