Sending Hugs Monochromatic Card

This time over at the Butterfly Challenge, one of the themes is to create a monochromatic joy fold card with butterflies and lace. I chose pink and gathered some different shades pink card stocks. I used plain card stock so I could follow along at Double Trouble where we are to have a floral theme but no pattern papers. My pale pink card base seemed a little plain, so I stamped spots on it from a retired SU! set and then added my lacey die cuts to the sides. The center panel with the roses is a 2-piece Sizzix die that layers together, and I wanted to use it to join in the fun over at Die Cut Divas where the theme is layering dies this month.

The butterflies were stamped using SU!'s retired Butterfly Brilliance bundle, and I die cut a coordinating die from that set out of pink vellum to attach to the butterfly on the front panel. 

I added more stamped and die cut butterflies to the inside of the card and stamped and fussy cut the "Sending hugs" sentiment from another SU! retired set. If you are interested in purchasing any retired SU! bundles, my friend Debbie Mageed has a list of them for sale at great prices with free shipping here: Bundles For Sale - Google Docs.
