Magnolia-licious Hello Little Butterfly

Hello Sweet Readers,

It's time for a new challenge at the Magnolia-licious/Wee Stamps Challenge Blog! Our challenge for this two week period is to create a project using...

Butterflies

The rules are the same. You must use a Magnolia product AND your project must clearly show the current theme in some way. This week, Team A has some fabulous inspirations to share. Next Tuesday, Team B will share their examples. I just know there is some thing there to inspire you!

This is the front of my card. All Magnolia-licious products are posted below the last photo. I hope you like what I have created and will leave a little love! One lucky commenter will be selected to win a special surprise from Diana at Magnolia-licious! For those of you who live abroad, your comments count as well!



As you can see, I chose to create a window in the front while using the stamped image as the focal point on the inside. This was new to me! I like the "shadow box" feel that is given. Here are the other images:





I wanted to keep the inside left very simple. I just used a simple way to state the greeting, a trio of pretty flowers, pearl trim around a Nestie frame, and a Magnolia-licious butterfly die with a pearl body. I went a bit more fancy on the inside right by adding a doily border and more pearls around the image which is actually three stamps combined into a little scene. There is a hidden tag on the left that will allow a personal message to be included. I also modified the Dragonfly Doohickey Die by removing the body and adding the butterfly body to the die cut. I followed this up with pearls as well.

Here are the Magnolia-licious Products I've used for this card:
