I think this style/design of card has been done many, many times before, but I thought I would have a go too.

It’s made using the Martha Stewart punch I got at the NEC in March.

The papers come from a double sided mini stack which meant that all the patterns were in proportion to the punch and all the colours matched already – which saved me a lot of time.

I’ve added two small matching Anita’s gems to the middle of each butterfly for extra sparkle.

Beautiful. Simply stunning. Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea.
Oooo...that is sooo pretty. Love the little gems on the butterflies. TFS. ~Glen~
Need to get this punch after using at a crop, lovely.
I know you must tire of the ??? but what fonts do you use on the newspaper cards please. I'm having a bash & the bulk text font is not right on mine. Thanks so much.

What a lovely card. Jaqui x
oh that is just beautiful!
it might be an old idea...but oldies are often goodies, huh? ;0)
simple yet stunning card......fabby
beautiful, stunning and so simple to do ?
Do stamps cut out fabric or just card/ paper? I love sewing and make sew directly onto card and would love to steal this idea using fabrics.
Another gorgeous and simple card! I'm going to have to have a go at this one! Beautiful!
