A Butterfly Border

 Here's one I made with a Martha Stewart butterfly stamp, stamped with distress ink and then just a tiny bit of scribbled lime zest Promarker added 


I stamped the butterflies close to the right edge of the card, then cut away around the edges - tip, make sure you don't put the antennae facing outwards, impossible to cut around neatly. It took me three tries before I finally learned that lesson.....



The inside of the card is covered with a pretty Prima paper, which of course shows when the card is closed. A few dotted gems and a Hero Arts sentiment, and I was done

    Wow! What a neat idea and love the colors you chose to work with, another one for me to try. Loved the last card you made in your previous gal with a hat.

    I love this! I never would have thought to stamp the edge of the card and then cut out the outline. Thanks so much for sharing this neat trick.
