It's spring and that means it is time for butterflies……or "fooflies" as our daughter used to say!  Stampin' Up! offers several stamp sets with butterflies right now and they certainly are the "in" thing!  This butterfly is from the stamp set "Simple Friendship" on page 92 of the Idea Book & Catalog .  I got the idea for this card on SCS and it was from a sketch challenge, a diagram of a layout.  I used Baja Breeze for the card base since it coordinates with the beautiful new Designer Paper in the Occasions Mini called "Walk in the Park" on page 9.  I almost hated to cover up the design of the paper on the bottom layer, but I can always make another card showcasing that paper!  This card is 6×6 since the person I was making it for wanted a large card that a group of people could sign (therefore you would cut your cardbase 12×6 and fold in half).  The ribbon is a new one in the Idea Book & Catalog, on page 179, the Whisper White Organza Ribbon.  It is so beautiful to use!  But if you wanted a new ribbon from the Occasions Mini, you could use the Whisper White Satin Ribbon in there on page 17!  The words stamped under the butterfly are from another butterfly set called "Flight of the Butterfly" (page 98).  My butterfly is stamped and cut out and the little half pearl is from the Pretties Kit, adhered with a mini glue dot.
