Card Details

One piece of patterned paper creates a gorgeous, artistic card. Cut one piece into four pieces and then assemble them back together on a piece of coordinating cardstock. You’re left with an amazing image with peeks of coordinating color shining through.

Stamp the sentiment on the same coordinating color. Then, cut it out with a circle die and pop it up with dimensionals.

Finally, add butterfly embellishments flying among the flowers.
