Flapping butterflies
Here's my latest card. Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge includes the element of doing a flap card, and I found a set of these white card bases among my stash, so it was just a matter of decoration.
I started with two snippets of a pale yellow and stamped flowers in a Distress pink on the diagonal on the larger piece. The smaller piece is the perfect place for a sentiment. For the main image, I stamped the butterfly flitting, floating... on a snippet of white, colored the butterflies with colored pencils, and used the negative of a scalloped oval to create a frame (I'm almost embarrassed to admit I'd saved that as a snippet, too).
For a little clasp element, I used a die-cut flower in white and added one of these premade flower/gem combos on top. I added a few more flowers to finish the card off.
This card is entered in these challenges:

Stamplorations -- Things With Wings
Die Cut Divas May challenge -- flowers
