You Brighten Up my Days

Hello my crafty Friends. I love the Link together Dies, it adds so much texture to my cards. Not sure if this item will be retiring but I know I will continue to use it. The stamp set I used for is the Beautiful Butterflies bundle.

The flowers were die cut using the Linked Together Dies. First I blended Daffodil Delight ink on a piece of thick White card stock and then die cut them. You get a nice variation of the color with having to use blends.

For the envelope flap, I just stamped a butterfly and colored it with Stampin Blends.

Let's Make a card!
