Nature is Painting Pictures


I started with the IO gingham background stamp. I inked it in versa mark on blue card and sprinkled with white embossing powder. I stamped the IO sentiment on white card and stamped leaves and  flowers around it. I used my paper crimper to give some texture on some blue card stock and a Martha Stewart punch to add a little more texture.


I cut two of the large butterflies and layered them together, and added a rhinestone.
