Less is More...Just One Word

I decided to use a leftover butterfly from another Less is More challenge for this Just One Word challenge...in a butterfly kind of mood.  I made the first one, but wasn't sure about the border of butterflies, so then saw a layout from a challenge that gave me the idea to use the butterfly in yet another way for the second card.

 You can see how I made the butterfly HERE...then I used a butterfly border die from Memory Box and a sentiment from Inkadinkado.  Popped up and layered on purple card....4" x 7"...the total die is rather long.

Thinking that maybe the butterflies were a bit too much, I opted for the single  butterfly with another layout.  I used another Memory Box die for the vines and leaves and an wood impression plate from Papertrey Ink for the card.  I stamped the same sentiment and with an exacto knife, made an inch slit above and below the sentiment.  I slid the vined panel through the slit and added the butterfly.  The sketch that I saw used two pieces, one  on either side of the sentiment,  but I thought the slit was something "different"...just had to try it to see what it looked like.  Has lots of possibilities??!!!  I got cool stamping Christmas presents from my daughters...will put them on the next post:)!!

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
