It's not obvious in the photo, but, this is a 5 x 7 card. I don't make that size unless it's a special order but I found a pack of 8 black cards with envelopes at Michael's for only .50. Knowing that was a huge bargain, I picked them up and put them in my stash. Today I ran across them and this is what I came up with.
The butterfly is a SU punch, the roses are SU done with StazOn black in on red paper. One rose is attached with a glue dot and the other is pop dotted for dimension. I used the Cuttlebug on the white background oval, and you can't see them all, but there are five 1.25 inch circles cut in half and layered under the ribbon.
There's a total of eight cards like this, some have stickles added onto the flower and butterfly and a couple have some black buttons added onto the white oval.
It seems like I learn something each time I lay out a new card. First, I decided to do the black and white rectangles, then added the circle halves to look like large scallops peeking out under the ribbon. I wanted to put two flowers and a butterfly in an oval and didn't realize the oval would be so big that you can't see the scallop! But, it turned out cute anyway!
Love it. I love anything with butterflies. The black and white and red just really comes together to make this look like one classy card. Good Job!
