A butterfly on a branch - birthday wishes

One of the weekly fav

at Color Throwdown

Happy Saturday and Shanna Tova everybody!

We had a lovely family gathering yesterday evening, and I spent the morning making a new card, a birthday wishes card. I used scraps of cs, both for the die cuts and for the stamping, reducing the scraps pile!

I die cut the background blue branch, using SSS Clustered Leaves die, and then I die cut from a navy blue cs with SSS Detailed Clustered die, and layered it on the blue branch. I adhered the double branch to the white basis.

I stamped and die cut the butterfly, using MFT More Brilliant Butterflies stamps and dies set (on of my FAV!), with distress oxide inks (mutard seeds, squeezed lemonade and chipped sapphire).

I die cut a small flower and small circles from a yellow cs, adhered it to the branch and above all - adhered the butterfly with foam tape.

The sentiment (SU) was stamped over a yellow cs and adhered to the basis with foam tape.
