I made this card for the stampin'B challenge #15. Check out the gorgeous creations the team has made. Clownmom is hosting this week and challenged us to use a butterfly on a card or project. Used my cuttlebug to make a border, stamped my ferns and a butterfly. Cut out and popped butterfly and it is finished. Easy card with results that I like.

Elegant is right, Brenda! What a pretty card - so simple and lovely!! Love the embossing and the popped up butterfly with the little pearl!! Good for you - brave enough to leave all of that lovely white space!! I know that can be scary!!

Brenda, this is SO PRETTY!!! Are you going to send this to one of my church members to thank them for some contributions they made to your bogus computer fund???? I'm going to have to find out who caved in and gave to your ridiculous fund. Wasn't my $5 donation enough toward your computer fund since it turned out you didn't need a new one after all. Oh, there I go again. . . Breathe and Let Go!!! Okay, back to your card. LOVE it - the ef borders are great. I have some and haven't used them much. Love the fern leaves, butterfly and sentiment. A nice clean, colorful and awesome card my friend!!! TFS Brenda!!!

Ahhh - Benzi's Beautifully Bordered Butterfly card is perfect for the Stampin'B challenge with all those B's... Great work!! (And now goodness me, it seems that the usually sweet Pam must be much more bark than bite - sorta like Debzi and Anne when they go at it!) Have a great day!
