Botanical Butterfly Circles Card

Hello and welcome to my second post for today.  I am finally back on schedule with this post.  I was a couple posts behind according to my posting and video calendar.  I wanted to share this with you today, I shared it back in December at the downline meeting I attend.  My upline doesn't hold a meeting of her own so I attend a friends, and each month different people share projects, this was mine for that month.  I used the Saleabration Botanical Butterfly Designer Series paper for my card.  This was actually a super simple card to create.  It takes advantage of our circle punches, you could use the Layering Circle Framelits also if you wanted to.  But, I went for quick with just the punches to me that seemed quicker.  I did this card in a both Balmy Blue and Grapefruit Grove.  I pulled the colors from the designer series paper.

If you notice I started (well, after punching all the different size circles that is) with the Needlepoint Nook Framelit dies and used the large stitched die and ran it through the big shot twice to create the background.  On the grapefruit grove piece I added a thin boarder of basic black to make it pop better.  You can let me know in the comment below which version you like better.  The one with or without the boarder.  Then I simply layered up the circles and glued them down to the cardstock. 

I stamped a simple sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set on a 1/2" strip of whisper white and made a flag tail banner.  I added a little of the petal pink and silver bakers twine in a bow to add just a little sparkle. 

The inside was just simply stamped with one of the butterfly stamps from the set in the matching color to the cardstock.  This is super easy since all the ink and cardstock matches from Stampin' Up!. 

Here's a little closer look at the Balmy Blue card.
