The "Inspired by Nature" stamp set inspired me to, well, be inspired by nature! And, it didn't hurt that I came across Stampin' B's challenge #15, to use a butterfly on a card or project. Well, if you know anything about me by now, it should be that I love butterflies! ~smile~ I couldn't resist!
Today's card features the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, which adds a touch of class to any card or project. Even better, the styled vanilla hodgepodge hardware is on sale now through July 27th for just $18.99 (Reg. $29.99). Want to find out more about this fantastic sale?

-
Scallop borders, like the one shown in today's card, are a snap with Stampin' Up!'s scallop edge punch.
-
Use the paper piercing tool to give a scallop border a "lace-like" appearance
- The Big Shot creates big, beautiful butterflies so quickly and easily with the "Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. I layered two butterflies from the same die.
-
Two vanilla brads add depth to the stacked butterfly die cuts. Helpful Hint: to add a little more depth, use your fingernail to gently curl the wings of the butterflies.

This is just gorgeous! What a great card this would be for stamp club...just may CASE it (and give you credit, of course!). TFS!
Lovely card! I love the colors you used. Very creative and not the usual! I also like the butterfly and hodepodge hardware. That's something I need to get, especially the butterfly punches!
