Is it too early for pastel butterflies? Maybe… but I went for it anyway! It was actually snowing outside while I was making this card, but I just love how it turned out. The butterflies are die cut from the new Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper, and they add the prettiest soft sparkle.
I made this card for the weekly Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge Here’s the sketch I used. You can see all the projects posted for this week’s challenge by clicking on the sketch below.
