My card is very clean and simple today and uses very limited supplies. I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
I decorated the inside as usual:
I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the flower images along the left edge in black ink. I stamped the sentiment in the same black ink about 2/3rds down on the right hand side. I die cut 3 butterflies from hot pink card and used an embossing folder to add some texture to them. I adhered two butterflies to the front with liquid glue. No embellishments or any extras this time to keep it a traditional CAS design. For the inside I cut a white panel 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped a sentiment in the centre with black ink. I then simply added the third butterfly to the bottom right corner. I wish I'd stamped a portion of the flower in the corner also but I didn't think of it at the time, although I could still alter it I suppose. I added the white panel onto a mat layer cut from the hot pink card and adhered it to my card base with double sided tape. This was one of the quickest cards I've ever made and would be a good one to mass produce in different colours I think.

So very pretty, a lovely CAS style - love those pops of color over the off the edge stamping! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!
Magnificent!! That peony surely takes the show. How hard was it to NOT add colour to it??? The pop of hot pink butterflies though...and they're embossed too, so next level!
