Clean and Simple Butterfly Color Challenge

At Stamp Camp, my friend,Jaime, showed me some very pretty thank you cards she made.  They were white with 2 embossed lines.  She stamped a flourish of flowers between the lines and added a scalloped flower.  They were so simple, but yet so pretty that I decided to copy the embossed line idea.  My card also is for this week's Color Combo (Rose Red, Brilliant Blue and Only Orange) on SCS.

Before I show you my card, I will warn you that this card is not for someone who does not like to use their scissors!  lol!  I hope you like it!

I had trouble getting a good photo that showed the dimension of the butteflies and the embossed lines so here's a close up of the embossing.

I added a line of piercing too.  The grid in the Crafter's Tool Kit makes it super easy to get a straight line.

The butterfly is from Dreams du Jour.  Would you like to purchase this stamp set at a 10% discount?  You can with the purchase of the Pop Up Die Card Kit.  Click here for all the details.
