Hello again, everyone! Are you jelly beaned out yet? Have you nibbled the ears off all your chocolate bunnies? I'm so glad peeps come just once a year (and can I say that my hips are, too!?)! :)
In Monday's post, I shared with you a fun trick to add depth and dimension to your pages, but store them flat in your albums. That same technique works great on a card, as you can see here by this birthday card I made for my favorite aunt.
For the lone yellow butterfly, I stacked three punched butterflies, one on top of the other, but applied adhesive only to the center body. Once it dried, I attached it to the card, added a few pearls and lifted upon the wings to separate them.
The sentiment inside the card says, "You are one of a kind." This technique works great with all paper punches and dies, and I invite you to share your creations with us here on this post!
~ Becky
such a sweet card...lovin' all those fun butterflies!

the paper looks like Bazzill to me - could be wrong - but the entire card is so cute ! Really simple, something any of us can do. I love fancy cards too, but they seem so unreachable - this is perfect. Thank you, Becky, for sharing your creation with us, and thanks to S&CT for sharing Becky with us !
