I hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July! I didn't get near as much stamping done as I planned on because of all the cookouts and parties I went to, but I did get this cutie patootie card made using the Butterfly Garden set from Storage Units, Ink & More. I {heart} this set, there are so many possibilities!
I used the Core'dinations Cardstock that Denise sent to me (Storage Units, Ink & More has it available in their webstore, along with matching inkpads and reinkers). I have always been a diehard SU! cardstock fan, but I gotta tell you, this stuff is fantastic! It has a smooth side and the other is textured. I used the Aquamarines package for this card......Atoll Aqua, Aquamarine and Aquarium - awesome color combo! I will definitely be using this cardstock a lot more, but don't worry I still LOVE my Stampin' Up! cardstock and wouldn't ever part with it!
I stamped the butterflies twice, cut one set out, colored them with my copics then popped them up on dimensionals, added some stickles for bling and also Liquid Pearls. The butterfly panel is also up on dimensionals and I used my paper piercer all around the edges. I also did lots of sponging and added dots with my white gel pen.
I hope the rest of your weekend is fantastic!

Awesome as usual! I especially like how all the different blues go so well together and how perfectly you placed all those little pearls! They really make the card so special.
