My favorite colors are blue and green, and I love that the new Sweetbay 6" x 6" paper pack highlights both. The Spring colors in this collection are gorgeous!
To make the Valentine, I chose a paper with leafy sprigs and used it as a background. I then stamped the butterfly (Periwinkle B1181) three times onto blue paper from the same collection and cut out each image. To make the butterflies stand out a bit better, I colored the edges of the wings with a blue Prismacolor pencil and added some clear rhinestones to catch the light. I wanted the butterfly wings to pop off the page so I made sure to only glue the centers of the butterflies to the background paper. To finish the card, I added a heart made from the Sweetbay paper, stamped a saying (You make my heart flutter B1182) in Deep Lagoon Versafine ink, and layered everything onto Sage cardstock and a Robin's Egg Blue notecard.
Very pretty card...love the butterflies.
