Here’s a card I made this week using the pages from a vintage French/English dictionary. I sponged various shades of Stampin’ Up! and Distress inks in blue, green and yellow onto half a sheet and punched out a bunch of butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch. Pretty simple, but it’s just the kind of card I like – lots of white space!
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes (Stampin’ Up!)
Paper: Fabriano watercolor cards, watercolor paper
Ink: Various shades of blue, green and yellow dye inks, black
Embellishments: rhinestones (Stampin’ up!)
Tools: Nestabilities, butterfly punch (Martha Stewart), Big Shot, Word Window punch
Have a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful card, Ali what did you use to get the embossed frame around the butterflies? Is that the Nestabilities?
