For my 1st card I water colored some rainbow stripes on water color cardstock and then die cut with a SSS Butterfly Drift die to come up with this simple card...
I added PTI's Pierced Feature Frame Dies in white to a white card base, and then added my colorful butterflies over the top of the base and frame. My sentiment is from Mama Elephant's Butterfly Kisses and I finished with a few clear sequins.
My negative piece from the die cut for the 1st card was just too pretty to throw away, so I added it to a white card base and then die cut the butterflies out again in just plain white cardstock. I popped up a few of the butterfly wings and added colorful enamel dots to the centers of each butterfly. A thin strip of black cardstock and a sentiment from The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You.
