I made this card in January, but didn't get to post it. Since today is officially spring I thought it was appropriate. While helping my mother-in-law decorate her new snowbird home I picked up some adorable K&Company butterfly stickers to use for cards while in the south - apparently people don't hand write much more than Thank You notes any more because that was the only type of stationery around! I found the stickers (without glitter!) at the local Michaels.
I paired one of the larger butterflies with design paper from the DCWV wintercombo matstack.
Look closely and you'll notice that the flowers in the design paper are actually snowflakes. I paired it up with some handmade fiber paper (no I didn't hand make it), and a scrap of gray cardstock. This was so quick and easy! Hopefully I can find design papers to match all the butterflies and whip up a few cards for my stash. (Note: these butterfly stickers are a little bulky, so mailing them may cost extra postage. Since I didn't have a post office close by, I stuck two stamps on the envelopes just to be on the safe side.)
Thanks for Visiting!

Love, Mom!
What a gorgeous butterfly! It looks perfect against that pretty hand-made paper!
Gorgeous. The soft lavendar paper is beautiful with the butterfly.
Beautifully done! I love the papaer as it compliments the butterfly perfectly!
I love butterflies and I like how you combined the different papers with the butterfly. It really makes it stand out. You also have a really nice blog :)
