stamps: blooming with kindness, papillon potpourri, mixed bunch from stampin up!
inks: worn lipstick and black soot distress inks by tim holtz and tuxedo black memento
other: scallop trim border punch and elegant butterfly punches from stampin up!, adhesive stones and digi card stock from craftwork cards

 

I coloured the base card with pink, then cut the border from black card. I layered them with a white matt, decorated with the flowers. I stamped the message in the bottom corner. the black butterfly was laid flat to act as a drop shadow for the dimensional patterned butterfly layered on top. the stones were added as a finishing embellishment.

similar to above, i inked the base card and then layered a further colour in digi cardstock on top. a white layer was added and stamped onto with the flower and message. i then stamped the patterned butterflies in coordinating colours and cut them out with the punch. these were then positioned and glued in the centre to allow the wings to stand free of the card. rows of stones were added for detail and sparkle.
