If you live someplace cold, you might enjoy this card I made for a class this week, featuring… butterflies!  What better break from the winter doldrums? Here in Florida, we are enjoying butterflies visiting for the winter.  I love them.

The beautiful embossed backgroung was matted in blue, the butterflies were stamped in black and colored using daubers in blue and yellow, then cut with a punch.  The sentiment is raised with dimensional foam with ribbon underneath, and the inside of the card says “It’s a million little things.” Perfect for telling a friend how much you care, or thanking them for being there for you!

I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful this winter season.

Happy stamping!
