Faith wanted us to make a Spring or Easter card for the Stampin'B's DT challenge this week. Butterflies always remind me of spring – when everything is new and clean. The images for this card are from Daffodil and Anise, a new set from Mark’s Finest Papers: Speedy the Cat Collection – despite the fact that this card contains neither Daffodils nor Anise. I do love this little butterfly. I stamped him with Palette Noir Black and quickly clear embossed him. Then I sponged both Landscape and Beaux Arts Blue, adding the green half pearls for his body. The top of the tag was cut using a Spellbinders Labels Four die, and the punched border is a new Martha Stewart border punch.
This card also qualifies for today's Ways To Use It challenge -- to use new products. Both the Mark's Finest Papers stamp set and the Martha Stewart border punch are new.
Happy Spring!

Your coloring on that butterfly is perfect, Lois. Love the deep cut punch and your papers. Beautiful - warming up here and snow is melting - hope it's all over with! Come on Spring and butterflies!
