Butterfly Birthday Wishes for JUGS464 & SIP144

Hello Everyone!

Welcome Back for a Special Peek at Today’s Card!

It is Special, because it combines 2 Challenges

AND

I did the same Card with a ‘Stepped Up’ Version!

First to the Challenges!

Challenge #1

Make a Clean And Simple (CAS) Card!

The Second Challenge

A Birthday Card!

 

Here is my Clean and Simple Birthday Card!

This Stamp Set hadn’t seen Ink for awhile…I always liked this Stamp Set…so

I went looking in past catalogs for ideas…and low and behold the

Cards made were few…I must be thinking of all I saw, on other blogs, when this

Stamp Set made it’s debut!

 

Here is the inside of my Card!

When I do the inside of Cards, I like to bring the colors AND some of the

front elements to the inside!

 

Here is my Card with it’s stamped to match envelope!

I love the simplicity of this Card…sweet and natural looking!

stamped and then punched out the butterflies!
