Mother's Day Butterfly Card

If you're still looking for inspiration for a handmade Mother's Day card here's one more example.  The layout design for the Mother's Day Butterfly card is pretty simple.  I heat embossed the butterfly stamped image but if you don't have the tools or supplies for that a stamped image works just fine.  If you can't find the perfect stamp you can always use a butterfly dimensional sticker.  Get creative and have fun, your mom will love it!

Supplies used: Recollections black folded card, The Paper Studio patterned paper (Moire Fleur-Floral, item #465005), Recollections patterned paper (Black Small Dots), white cardstock, Core'dinations gemstone cardstock (Rose Quartz, GX-GEM380),  Inkadinkado butterfly rubber stamp  (60-00048), Hero Arts Mother's Day sentiment stamp (C2962), VersaMark watermark stamp pad, Recollections embossing powder in Party Pink, Hero Arts chalk ink in Grass, Offray ribbon, and Recollections rhinestones.
