Here is my card done with this set.
This is such a great background stamp set.  The sentiment is beautiful too. I cut the stamp out at the border and used sparkly chalks to color the large butterfly.  It doesn't show up well in the photo but it is really pretty.  I used a Darcie embossing folder behind the panel and added the sentiment tied with twine.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog this week for the first part of our hop.  I have loved reading all your amazing comments.  Thank you all so very much.  Please hop along and see the rest of the teams beautiful work done with this set.

Here is my card done with this set...
The three new sets of butterflies this month are just beautiful!!  I hope you like them. On my card I cut out one image for the bottom layer and then layered the stamped image on top.  I bent the wings up a bit and added some yellow pearls.  I love the blue and yellow together.  I have 4 birthday cards to send this month so the sentiment was just the perfect touch.
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to continue hopping to see the rest of the team for this week's cards.
