This card was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge! The theme is P for paper piercing, along with the colour fern, plus butterflies. I googled the colour fern and there were several shades that qualified so I went with the colour you see here. I have been neglecting my butterflies for way too long, so thank you for inspiring me, Mrs. A!
Can you see my paper piercing? I haven't tried this technique in many years and since I've never been very good at it, I did just a bit in the lower corner.

Great embossed background for this card, it looks amazing behind the branch with butterflies! Lovely green fern, too and the little pierced corner looks so pretty!
This is gorgeous, Kitty. Love the beautiful butterfly with the fern color. Perfect for that challenge. I like the tiny little butterflies with the pearls, too.
Sorry you had the flu. How yucky. My poor husband had it last year. It can be so draining on you. Fortunately he's always a good patient. He doesn't make for a good nurse though.
This is just adorable, perfect for Mrs. A's challenge. I hope you feel better soon!
Kitty this is gorgeous. Those are beautiful butterflies. Love the embossing.
Hi Kitty, so nice to see you playing back here again. Love the shades of fern you have on your card and the EF you have used. Show those butterflies off perfectly. I an see your paper piercing in the corner too. hugs Mrs A.

So different from your other cute cards. This one is very styleful and elegant. Great color combo.
Beautiful Butterflies, lovely die cuts and of course the paper piercing. (boy you can get that confused with piecing, (I first read that, lol) I have a paper piercing set from SU but you can make one from a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 piece of plastic canvas. it helps with keeping lines straight and placing of brads too.
what a lovely and stylish card, love the colour of the pattern paper and the white, lots of hugs and love, a treat perhaps for your lovely furbabys, xxx, Marion
Im so glad you are better!
our card is so pretty!

Beautiful! I am glad you are feeling better, and could share this delightful Spring card - it's so elegant with the white embossed background and white layers! The flu is especially tiring for people like us - I've only had the flu 2-3 times in the past 20 years, but it completely wipes me out for weeks, and triggers all my symptoms. I hope that does not happen for you! Sending healthy thoughts and prayers, KT - love, de
Very pretty card...love that butterfly
good luck in the challenge
Wonderful car, loving butterflies at present, thanks for joining us at Allsorts, xxx

The texture on this beautiful snippets card is sensational, Kitty! You've nailed Mrs. A's challenge and I like your touch of piercing!
I'm sorry you've been sick and I hope you are now completely over it! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card and I love the embossed background. That adds so much wonderful texture and goes so well with all the dies you used. The corner piercing is a great touch.
So beautiful and love the bit of paper piercing!

Well we were both lucky in the Butterfly Challenge this time weren't we. Thanks for visiting me today. I was coming over to see you this afternoon anyway to find out what make that lovely big butterfly die is. memory box is a make I can get fairly easily online, so I shall look out for it. I love your card. green is not my first choice for making cards, but you have used a lovely muted shade of it, and just enough to meet the criteria for the challenge. Enjoy your prize. Kate x
Oh so PRETTY! LOVe the butterfly!
