Happy Spring

I'm participating in the challenges over Creative Scrapping Divas' Live Crop this weekend.  Sandy challenged us to make a card with the following techniques pleat/ruffle, joy fold, gate fold, easel and/or brad card.  I chose to make a gate fold card which I have never made before.

It was a bit of challenge to align the butterfly arch but I got it done.  I used SCAL to design and cut the card:  the card closed, measures 6.75x5; the rectangle 10.25x5.618; the small square 2.375x2.809; the butterfly frame 5.963x6.028

I ended up trimming off the square and adding a top note label instead. :) 


Paper: DCWV and K&Co.
Bling: Hotfix stones and Stickles
Flowers: Prima
Stamps: Bunny4Easter & Monogram2Build
both stamp sets by The Stamps of Life

I would love to share the cut file but the butterfly frame is not my own.  You can visit Monica's blog to download the frame...you're going to love her blog!

3/22 UPDATE:  My card was featured over at Patches of Pink!! Yay!
