Stampers Dozen Blog Hop For July 2023

Gardens or Flowers Theme!

Welcome to a July Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop! If you love gardening or flowers like I do, you are in for some wonderful inspiration from our team. I happen to love gardening veggies and flowers and spend a lot of time on all of my gardens.

For my card today, I used the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set and yes, I fussy-cut all of those stamped images by hand! The stamped images are so pretty layered over a diecut Dots & Spots Dies layer:

I love the look of the double-layered butterfly. It makes it look like the butterfly is actually flapping its wings. Do you like the color combination I used?

I used Coastal Cabana, Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia, Sweet Sorbet, Pecan Pie and Basic White for my colors. It’s such a happy card!
