I'm stamping with the oldies today. No, my friends didn't come over for a crafty date... it's just that I'm using all old stamps. After Tuesday's butterfly card I got to thinking about my butterfly stamps, so I had a look in the butterfly drawer. There were a few to choose from, but this one was front and center and it didn't require coloring. I don't know its name, but it's by Savvy Stamps and it's many years old.
This card couldn't be simpler. I stamped the butterfly multiple times in multiple colors: SU's Cameo Coral, Old Olive, and Bermuda Bay. Overstamped SU's En Francais script background in So Saffron. Popped up SU's It's Your Birthday sentiment.
I'm loving clean and simple lately.
My card doesn't look anything like the gorgeous mood board below, but I did have the Double D Butterfly Challenge in mind, so will link up over there.
Thank you for your time. Have a happy day!

I truly am in awe of your stamping skills. You can take one stamp and make a beautiful card by utilizing that stamp and I'm always so impressed that all your cards can be mailed without extra postage! Well done you!
Sweet card and adorable butterflies stamped. I am just in love with this card.. xx
That is a beautifully stamped butterfly card. Now try saying that...
So very prettily stamped and designed with all the pretty SU colors, feels good to use some oldies doesn't it? Of course we do keep buying new, I could never buy a stamp again and still have enough o last my lifetime, now I need to focus on all my 'oldies'...see how you ALWAYS inspire me!! Thanks for joining our challenge at Double D, so happy to see you there!!
Oh Leslie this is just GORGEOUS! What a beautiful choice of colors! I ditto what Diane said LOL. Thanks for amazing inspiration once again! Now to see if I can come even close to creating this card as beautifully as you have!

I love this wonderful stamp you have used and all the pretty colors. A great butterfly design. And, I chuckled about your "oldies" remark.
I wish we were stamping together, my dear forever friend:-) I love all your old SU ink colors you chose to stamp your beautiful butterflies over your En Francais script background in So Saffron. I still have the background stamp and Happy Birthday set:-) Thank you for always inspiring me, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
I'm loving it. So gorgeous with the variety of colors. It does make my heart sing.
I like clean and simple look and your butterfly card is perfect for this. Your butterfly stamp does a nice job and I always like SU's colors. I am using Old Olive and Real Red on all my Heartfelt Christmas cards and love how they turn out. A nice background stamp and sentiment and you're done! We are a lot cooler today so hope to get some garden work done! Take care!
Lovely. Have a great day
Beautiful and so perfect for the challenge.
That is beautiful stamping of the butterflies, love the colors and that over stamping of the background text looks great with them!!
the butterflies may be oldies but they're goodies. Love the distressed edges and how easy the card came together :)
It may be simple to you but the placement of each stamped butterfly takes a good eye... It's fantastic!
What a terrific idea! And it works so beautifully with those wonderful colors. Another winner, Leslie!
Ah, so clean and simply done, Leslie! I love that color combination. Such a pretty butterfly - glad you dug it out.
You know I love this Leslie, as I love anything nature related. Love it all, the CAS design, the colours, the script background stamping and of course the butterfly! I'm so glad you pulled out some 'oldies' to use, as you always inspire me to do the same. I can't remember the last time I use the SU En Francais script background, and it's so pretty just adds some interest to your card. It's always the little things you do, that makes me want to do! Thanks for sharing another CAS creation!
This butterfly stamp is a keeper, Leslie! I love the distress look of the way it stamps! So much fun in all those colors! Pulling out an old loved stamp is like meeting up with an old friend!
Your stamping is perfect and the colors are awesome together!
Wow! This is superb Leslie. So pretty and so perfectly done. Thanks for sharing with us at Double "D" Challenges.
