Today I've chosen to use one of my FAV sets - Butterflies and Blossoms!  I just love the beautiful Clematis and Butterflies and it just sings Spring to me!!!

I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with green bazzill, more vanilla punched with the MS Lattice Arch punch and then topped with some green Papermania Rose Garden DP and some pink taffeta ribbon.  The next panel is more Rose Garden DP matted with pale pink bazzill.  I stamped the Butterflies and Blossoms image in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (RV000, RV10, RV13, G20, G21, G24, Y21, Y23, YR23, YR24, BG0000, E51). It was cut out with Large Rectangle Nestabilities and matted with green bazzill cut with Lacey Rectangle Nestabilities.  The sentiment is from the same set and has also been stamped in Tuxedo Black and cut with Small Oval Nestabilities and popped up on foam tape.  Next I added a pink taffeta bow (ribbon care of my sweet friend Angie!) and sprinkled a few Kaisercraft Blush Pearls.
