It's the second week of #74 Butterflies +E is for Edges and/or the colour Mint green.
Here is some more inspiration for you.
Card base has the pre cut butterflies edge already on it. The image is by Hunkydory from their 'Second little book of flowers'. I backed the inside of the card with a very pale mint card stock that matched the leaves on the flowers perfectly. Sentiment is a multi coloured sticker from my stash.

Through The Craft Room Door # Anything goes.
Catch The Bug # Birds, Bees, Butterflies.
Come and Get It Challenges # Things with wings.

Love to Craft #8 Anything goes.
My second card uses darker mint card stock for the base card and a Digi paper 'Shabby Roses 02c' by Cameo Shop on Etsy. The butterrfly edges are a tonic border punch. Sentiment is a glitter sticker from my stash as are the white roses. The butterrfly created in the middle is 'Theo Butterfly' by Poppy Stamps. I die cut from a square of card and then inlaid the butterfly back inside. Turned both over and secured the butterfly down at the the edges and then covered with a piece of acetate cut to the same size as the square. I have adapted an idea I saw here on Laurel's blog and created the shaker element using the little waste butterflies from the tonic die punch edge strip for the inside. You can just see them inside the wings of the butterfly.

Two beautiful cards! Love the soft, sweetness of that first one. And the second, with a shaker (which I always love!) is really fun! Great idea to use the "leftover" butterflies from the border! Thanks for playing with Jo's Scrap Shack.
