In the 2nd picture, I added a panel of Basic White card stock along with one of the butterflies from the Paper Butterfly Accents. I used a blending brush to add some color, Peach Pie and Pretty in Pink to make the butterfly standout a bit more.
In this 3rd picture, I added an embossed panel of Basic White card stock along with some coordinating ribbon, shiny sequins and used another butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents which I colored as well.
Here is where I started to unleash my creativity with this template. Instead of the circle, I used the heart die cut from the Friends for Life Bundle. My favorite is the last card using the heart but I was surprised my husband actually liked the 3rd picture using the Peach Pie card base and other coordinating embellishments. Which is your favorite?

- Place the 2nd piece of Designer Series Paper about 1/2″ from the bottom but a bit further to the left side of the card, adhere
- Place the 3rd piece of Designer Series Paper centered between the other 2 pieces of DSP and further to the right side of the card, adhere
- Stamp your greeting on your circle, apply adhesive to the back of the circle and tuck it under the bottom piece of DSP
- Add embellishments as desired
