Springing into May!


It seems spring and butterflies are what is called for this week! Many challenges are looking for these, so I combined that with Cupcake Inspirations picture challenge, and this is what came out!


These are definitely not my colors, so I really felt it was a challenge! My mind just can't see the pink and the orange together as being good, so I literally tried to stitch them together! I used the sketch from the Stamptacular Sunday challenge blog and cut out all my panels (all paper is from Stampin' Up). Then I dug out the sewing machine and stitched them all onto the green cardstock. The stamp is from a Stampin' Up set called Flower of the Month. The rhinestones and flowers are from my stash. The butterfly punch is made by Marvy, and I just love it! I punched them from yellow cardstock, glittered them, and glued down only their bodies so I could pop the wings up.

I entered this card into these challenges:

Cupcake Inspiration #57 - picture inspiration
The Crafty Pad - any punch
Cowgirl Sunday Challenge - mother's day or spring
Tellen's Place - dragonflies and butterflies
Alphabet Challenge - B is for Butterflies
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Shiny, Sparkly, Special
Sweet Stampin' - Color combo
