The butterfly was made using the Mixed Bunch stamp set and Blossom Punch (page 21 of the Autumn-Winter Mini), and then trimmed down. This little butterfly was inspired by Rachel Woollard...

I created this card for my sister's birthday, using the Simply Scored scoring tool to make DSP box-pleats along the bottom. The Simply Scored makes it really easy to create this look. We will be learning how to do this in the May Creative Stamping Workshops. See you there!
