A simple yet beautiful Spring card

Hello, hello! 

Hope all is well?!...

Today, I'm sharing another card I designed for Not 2 Shabby and using the new Bunnies in Bloom bundle! If you haven't checked out the bundle/products, you'll want to be sure to check things because once they sell out, they're gone, so don't wait too long. ;) (As of now, the bundle is sold out but you still can get the papers and ephemera and that's all I used on my card for today! :)) 

Here's my card...

I promise you this card is so simple to make yet it's beautiful right?!...I've included all the steps below so you can make this card as well and/or put your twist on things. ;)

Let's make this card!

• Choose some patterned papers from the Bunnies in Bloom paper pad and ephemera. (you'll see I chose a couple different flower pieces because I wasn't sure which one I was going to use.)

• Cut the two pieces of patterned paper to a size of 3 1/2" x 5".

• Adhere the two pieces together, slightly angled.
• Set aside.
• Using the flower ephemera piece adhere the butterfly to it.  

• Add foam tape on the back of the ephemera. 
• Adhere to the papers from above.

• Add paint splatters using a black paint marker (or black watercolor with a slightly damp paintbrush). 
• Set aside and let dry.

• Using the solid color sheet of patterned paper from before (above), cut a strip the size of 3 5/8" x 1".
• Set aside. 

• **note: I decided while in the process of making things to add an additional layer of kraft cardstock under the already adhered layers. Cut the kraft cardstock to the same size as above and adhere at a slight angle, just so it peeks out a tiny bit.**

• Take an A2 white card base and adhere the layered papers with ephemera from above onto the card base.
• Take the solid color cut strip and add foam tape to the back, wrap some burlap twine around the strip, tie in a bow and add to the card.

• Adhere/add sparkling enamel dots.

Well, that's all for me. I hope I inspired you, today! 

Don't forget too, the February Not 2 Shabby Monthly Mood Board Challenge is in full swing. It's so easy to play along and you even have a chance at winning a $15 gift certificate to the Not 2 Shabby Shop! Fun, right?!...I hope you'll play along?!...Join HERE.
