I cut the stamped kraft background into three 1.25" strips, then layered onto a 4" piece of Early Espresso so that there would be a thin border between each strip. Next I punched the bottom edge of the espresso paper with a wavy border punch, then tied a bow around the panel with some early espresso striped ribbon. The sentiment (also from Blue Skies) is stamped on a Blossoms Nestabilities die and I popped up the large Blue Skies butterfly, colored with Copics. I finished off with a Cherry Cobbler mat and an ivory card base. When I asked Mark what he thought of the card, he said it was one of my best ever. See why I keep him around? He's such a sweetie! :)
Hope you're having a fabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

simply stunning, Julee...love those colours, especially on kraft :) YUMMY!!! My new stamps arrived on Thursday and I must say I just LOVE them...I don't want to put them down...I don't like to play favourites...but they are my favs right now :)
I'm drooling on my keyboard, Julee!!! You know my address - hint, hint LOL!
Just LOVE this card!! The colour combo is fabulous and that wide striped ribbon is amazing!! Love how you stamped the butterfly on the kraft. My kind of card :)
Border guys were playing the the stamps again because I just got mine today! Can't wait to ink them up! It's like Christmas in July :D
Gorgeous card Julee! Very striking and I love your butterfly panels in those colours with that ribbon!
What a stunner! I am so in love with this color combo! Those butterflies are just gorgeous!!
These colors are gorgeous together! So pretty!
Your hubby is right- this card is stunning. Somehow, though, I now have a craving for chocolate covered cherries (the good ones, not the icky ones they mass produce at Christmas time). :)
Fabulous card Jules! I loooove these butterflies stamped on Kraft, I'm addicted to doing that!
Mark is such a sweetheart, I definately see why you keep him around;) Billy says the same things, mostly because he knows I cook the dinner, lol!
Great card...love the colors and that beautiful bow..

Why don't my scraps turn into beautiful cards like yours - you do work some magic with a little ink and some stamps - not to mention some gorgeous ribbon!
Very pretty! I really like your color combo.
