Free for All challenge wants us to depict something we like about summertime - I love the butterflies I see in my flower garden.
The Ways to Use It challenge wants us to look back at our very early cards and make an updated one inspired by one of the early ones. I chose [ulr=Butterfly Notecard by susanbri at Splitcoaststampers butterfly card[/url] to inspire me.
For my new card, I used the same theme of butterflies, the same technique of fussy cutting, and a similar layout of layering the butterfly on a couple of layers. I used a scripted swirly butterfly stamp that I've had it for a long time but haven't used it for ages so high time it saw some ink. I used the equally old Big and Juicy Hydrangea Rainbow ink pad. I stamped the butterfly and sentiment directly on the panel, and then stamped the butterfly again on a scrap of cs, fussy cut it, and popped it up with foam tape on top of one of the panels. A few simple shimmery flower sequins, a blue border, and a layer of fun foam to give dimension finished it off.
I recently bought a set of larger hexagon dies - large enough to make card bases from. I cut two of them for each card and then made "hinges" from scraps of the same cardstock to hold them together. I then used the smaller hexagon dies for my layers.

That scripted butterfly is such a fabulous image and is perfect for a summer themed card. The hexagon die cut makes a wonderful shaped card. Very pretty.
