Creative Belli Challenge #85

Good morning everyone and welcome to another Creative Belli Challenge!!! Today's challenge is to use butterflies or dragonflies.
We are so honored to be sponsored by QKR Stampede...whoohoo!!!! They also own Eureka Stamps and Biblical Impressions...check out all their awesome stamps!!! One lucky winner will receive $30.00 worth of stamps from QKR Stampede!!!!!
The Floral Oval from QKR Stampede was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The oval frame was made with an oval Nesties and Garden Green cardstock. It was run through the cuttlebug with the Diamonds in the Rough folder for a little texture. The butterflies were punched out of a piece of Basic Grey Origins dp with the Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and the same paper was used to finish out the inside. The sentiment was also from QKR Stampede and a little piercing was done across the top.
This is also for a few other challenges:
ABC Challenge - use something new. I used my new QKR stamps
Pile it On - flowers
Incy Wincy Design Challenge - use punches. I used the butterfly punch and scalloped border punch on the inside.
Creative Inspirations - use leftover supplies. I used scraps of Garden Green and Barely Banana and the butterflies were punched with leftover dp.
Recipe:
Stamps: QKR Stampede
Paper: White, Garden Green, Barely Banana, Basic Grey Origins
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Nestabilities, BoBunny Ribbon, Martha Stewart Butterfly and Scalloped Border Punch, Copics, Cuttlebug
Isn't this little Irish bear adorable...he is also from QKR Stampede. Now that Valentine's Day is over, you will be seeing a lot of green!!! He was colored with Copics and the shamrock was created with heart shaped nesties bugged with the Dotted Swiss embossing folder. The stem was made with a punched flourish and a button with twine. The butterflies were punched with Basic Grey's Origins dp and a Martha Stewart Punch

This is also for the Double Dog Dare Challenge hosted by Joanne (Sleepyinseattle) to make a
St. Patty's Day card. You can find all the DDC challenges in the Splitcoast challenge forum post #66.
