The Botanical Butterfly 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) had a matching punch. There is a sheet of colorful butterflies that you can punch out. Plus I also found that there is a sheet of uncolored butterflies that match the punch as well. I had used the sheets in my pack that had the colored butterflies. The paper was cut into many pieces because I was using butterflies as I needed and had lots of pieces sitting around. SO I took some time out and punched out all of those butterflies and now I can't find them!!! So much for trying to be efficient! LOL
I had a piece of the uncolored butterfly paper sitting in the front part of the package and it looked like it would fit in the punch, so I took it out and sure enough, much to my surprise it did! SO I punched it out and sponged on the color using Balmy Blue ink. I sponged lightly on the top wings and darker on the bottom. I also added just a little Highland Heather ink to the center part of the butterfly. And that was it. Simple enough to color, huh?

The base of this card is a 1/4 sheet of Basic Black card stock. On top of that I cut a piece of Whisper White at 4" x 10-1/2". I folded it in half and taped it to the card base.
I stamped the words from the "Southern Serenade" set using black Memento ink. I die cut the words using the stitched circle die. I made sure the words were down toward the bottom part of the circle. I cut a scalloped circle for the layer using Basic Black card stock. I taped the two layers together.
I took a 4" x 2" piece of the Balmy Blue gingham DSP from the 6" x 6" Gingham Gala pack. I taped it to the front of the card and then I tied a Balmy Blue organza ribbon around the card and I tied a knot. I added a glue dot to hold the ribbon in place.
I added Dimensionals to the circle layer and set it in place on the card. I also added a Dimensional to the back of the butterfly and set that in place on the circle and the card was done.
This was a very quick card to make. I think it has such a sweet look to it.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,

How clever of you to color a black and white butterfly. It certainly made a very pretty card. Love the gingham DSP. It is funny how some things are right in front of us, but we don't see them. Great job! Enjoy your day!
