I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set called Butterfly Basics as well as the Hello You Thinlits Dies to create a clean and simple card to share today.

My card design was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #118.

The colors for my card were inspired by The Paper Players #240.

And the layering for my card was inspired by Can You Case It #65.

I started by cutting a circle from scrap card stock with one of my Circles Collection Framelits Dies.  I used Post-It Notes to secure the scrap paper over the panel of Whisper White card stock that I wanted to stamp and sponge.

I colored the flower image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set with my Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding Stampin’ Write Markers, stamped the image off once on scrap paper, then stamped the image over the top of the circle that I’d die cut.  I repeated this process two additional times to add more flowers.

I inked the small butterfly image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink, stamped it off on scrap paper once, then stamped it next to the flower images.  I sponged around the edges of the die cut circle with Pistachio Pudding ink, then I removed the scrap paper die cut, adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock with SNAIL, then to a Strawberry Slush card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the sentiment with one of the Hello You Thinlits Dies from Coastal Cabana card stock three times.  I stacked them one on top of the other, adhering them together and to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added a single Pearl Basic Jewel next to the sentiment.

I inked the flower and butterfly images from the Butterfly Basics stamp set as described above and stamped them on a Whisper White panel inside the card.
