Bright butterflies for spring themed card will bring a smile to your face. Ready for winter to end, I wanted to make a card that says spring.
What got me thinking of butterflies and spring? I was cleaning up our front yard the other day when I noticed some of my flowers beginning to pop their leaves through the dirt. It is a little early for this to begin happening in our area. It has been a pretty mild winter here so it didn’t surprise me.
Seeing these bits of green made me think that I might begin seeing butterflies earlier this year. Knowing that we can still get a heavy snowfall yet, I don’t plan on cleaning out the leaves and plant cover for a while yet. This means I won’t be planting any seeds for the butterflies for a while either. But, it doesn’t hurt to start thinking of these brightly colored insects.
Bright butterflies for spring makes the perfect theme for your cards this time of year.
I knew that using the Butterfly Kisses 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper would help me achieve this. The butterflies and little florals will fill your projects with color and energy. If your project needs something other than butterflies or flowers, just flip the paper over and use the pattern design on the other side. It’s like getting two packs of paper in one! CalypsoThe bright colors in this paper are; Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky
