Paper Pierced Butterfly

I mentioned another version and then forgot to post!  Knee deep in Easter projects, so a temporary side bar, then back to Easter tomorrow.........

I think you can see the paper piercing better on this card.  I know Summer Starfruit is not every one's favorite, but it does grow on you the more you use it and paired with Basic Gray is luscious!!  I used a Basic Gray card base.  The Whisper White mat was embossed with the Vine Street embossing folder which was inked with Basic Gray ink.  Yummy effect don't ya think? 
Sycamore Street Designer paper scraps were punched with the Bitty Butterfly punchand adhered with glue dots.  The Elegant Butterfly punch was used on a scrap of Whisper White.  The cut with the Labels Framelits.  This allows enough white space to show off the paper piercing.  A scrap of Designer paper was added to shadow the punched butterfly.  I used dimensionals to give it depth and tucked a string of the small Basic pearls for the Butterfly body. 
A strip of Summer Starfruit satin stitched ribbon adds more color.
The Sentiment from Vintage Verses was stamped with Basic Gray ink in Basic Gray card stock and punched with the Large Oval punch.
