Since starting back in February, I have stamped with a few but much loved stamp sets.  Nothing is more loved by me that Flower Fest.  I will miss you my friend.  Here is a fun little card that we will be stamping with at a Stamp A Stack by request tomorrow.  To punch it up and make it current, I used our new In Colors – Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals.  I didn’t think I would love Summer Starfruit as much as I do.  It’s that funky mix of yellow and green – very hip and cool.

I hope you love the result!  The butterflies are stamped in Basic Black and then burnished with the three in colors and some sponge daubers.  I used our Lots of Tags Sizzlits for the tag and Extra Large Oval Punch.  Since I don’t have too much ribbon yet in the In Colors – I have been using my fun little strip which seems to be becoming a fast favorite for me – and quite cost effective too! 

This entire card is on a white base, and I adhered a 1/4 panel to the inside to give the color punch for the background.  When making a card like this – be sure to stamp the butterfly image completely – you’ll cut off the end with your paper snips, it looks better as a whole image rather than cut off (look at my second to the bottom image and you’ll see what I mean.

Have fun – this card has so many possibilities, I can’t wait to try it with some of the new stamp sets available tomorrow.
