Going for pretty here

 


I'm ready for spring, so here is a very springy-looking card.  I used this inspiration photo from Sweet Pea Designs' Mix It Up Challenge #28. I also used my favorite color combo -- pink and a pale-ish green.
The green branch is from a Memory Box die, and the butterfly is a Sizzlet  in pink vellum. I free-hand pierced the butterfly trail and added a little piercing around the punched corner.

This card is for these challenges:
Sweet Pea Mix It Up #28 -- inspiration photo
Butterfly Challenges #72 -- color "fern" and piercing
Crafty Sentiments -- favorite combo (I took that to mean favorite color combo).
Simon Says Wednesday -- Fantastic florals
Simon Says Monday -- Favorite tool (love my Cuttlebug)
Happy Little Stampers Die Cut Challenge -- anything goes
Word Art Wednesday #270 -- anything goes
