Happy Spring! Saturday here in Boise was the perfect Spring day...warm, sunny and breezy, a perfect day to spend outside. Yesterday was a bit cooler and ended with rain, but really a very Springy weekend, hope yours was as nice!!!For this week's Cupcake Inspirations Challenge and Blogger's Challenge (Spring) I decided to go with the butterflies and the turquoise from the cupcakes, I love the new KaiserCrafts Devonshire paper and the swirls on this turquoise paper were calling out for some butterflies. I used my new embossed butterfly die from SU and added some stickles and pearls to add a few details, but I wanted the focus to be on the beautiful paper and the butterflies.
I added a piece of a lacey scalloped diecut from the paper pack and a sentiment from Stampavie to finish it off...
Another diecut border and a few small butterflies add just a touch to the inside of the card...
