SpeedyTV's Inspiration Challenge 61 - Butterflies

 

 

Shirley has selected the theme of "butterflies" for this week's Inspiration Challenge on SpeedyTV!  Butterflies are so gorgeous, elegant - yet very frail!

 

Check out the gorgeous inspiration pics from Shirley:

 



 

 

 

As you can see, I selected the middle beautiful picture for my inspiration.  I simply stamped my butterfly along the border of the cardstock and then cut around each butterfly for a border and backed Navy Blue CS behind it.

 

The butterfly is a sneak peek from a set to be released in a few weeks at the May 2014 Senior Design Team blog hop!
