and also I used the Two Step Butterfly Set. ,
And I cut the butterfly out with the Grunge Butterfly Die,
Paper: 110# White CS for the Base, White, Marina Blue, 
Ink: Marina, and Crumb:
Accessories: Crumb Ribbon, White Lace, Nesties, Pearls, Dimensionals, Liquid Glue:

The Next one on the list is Connie

I enjoyed seeing this. May I compliment your bow, so beautifully tweaked & tied? The blue & brown and overlapped butterflies with lace and borders make a lovely effect.

Could that be a moth, they are so fragile and don't live long. What a great representation of life. Thanks.

Well Jan, I confess I did not need either of these two BG stamps until I saw this card - and some of the others along the way who have used BG stamps as complimentary! This is pure and simply beautiful!

Using three sizes of the butterflies really looks good together. I never would have thought of it. Thanks for sharing!
