Friends with Flair ~ Butterfly Kisses

Wow, oh wow, do I have some beautiful cards to show you today!

 I joined a swap over at the scrapzee board for butterfly theme cards, pretty simple, make five cards and send them in, get five different cards back. 

 I turned to my Silhouette Cameo and Unity stamps to come up with this piece of gorgeousness...even dh was impressed!

I used a cut file from the Silhouette store, modified a bit to suit the picture in my head, then the most adorable SOTW from Unity on the inside. 


Of course, since its for a swap, then I made a few more...

Oh, and I just couldn't not use the darling butterflies flying out of the envelope stamp, so I sent some envelopes along to use with these cards!

Supplies:
  • stamp - Unity Butterfly Kisses
  • cardstock - Recollections
  • patterned cardstock - Cosmo Cricket Clementine
  • cut file - Samantha Walker for Silhouette America (modified)
  • ink - Ranger Distress Ink Walnut Stain
  • punch - Martha Stewart butterfly trio
  • gems - The Paper Studio
  • ribbon - stash
I chose the patterned cardstock based on the colors in the Unity Be Inspired Challege ~ it lasts for a whole month, you should join in!

 I'm linking up over at Unity Friends with Flair Friday...you should join in!

Thanks for stopping by!
