Stamping 411 #148 Pink Butterfly

Here's a card I made for Mother's Day and for the Stamping 411 sketch #148 here. Hopefully the lovely lady that I'm giving this card to won't be "blurfing" anytime soon.

I started by running a piece of Pretty in Pink textured card stock thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Details texturz plate. Then I added a piece of pink patterned paper from the Shades of Spring DSP. I stamped the sentiment from Flight of the Butterfly in Certainly Celery and added flowers in Celery and Pretty in Pink too. The two butterflies are made from the Beautiful Wings embosslits die. The "love" tag from Tiny Tags was stamped in Pretty in Pink then punched out with the coordinating Medium Jewelry tag punch. Finally, a piece of Whisper White 5/8 inch Satin ribbon finishes it off!
