I decided to go for a spring inspired card. My color scheme of Calypso Coral, Soft Sky, and Smoky Slate came from the Color Coach. This is a great tool for matching colors! The background image is from Gorgeous Grunge (this is the most verstile stamp set) and the sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts. I used both the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches on this card. These two punches go together perfectly!
For the center butterfly, I punched out two butterflies, one in Calypso Coral and one in Vellum Cardstock. The Vellum layered over the Calypso Coral softens the color a bit. I also layered it with a flower from the Boho Blossoms Punch and a Smoky Slate button. I also used some Soft Sky buttons on the other butterflies. My major tip for using buttons is to never leave them naked. Here I used White Baker's Twine to finish off the buttons.

Kaitlyn, I just love this simple and sweet design! Such an inspiring card! I tweaked a few things, but kept most of it all the same and we will be making this card at an upcoming card night. I'll be linking to this post when I share my card (inspired by you!) on my blog on Monday. :)
