My project today is a "Cricut-ess" card...
This card is 4" x 7" - which is NOT my usual size but I was trying to step a little outside my comfort zone! LOL I used my Fiskars Scallop Lace border punch and wired ribbon from Hobby Lobby for the bottom half of the card. The butterfly is actually an acetate cupcake pick from the dollar section at Michaels. At six for a dollar I couldn't resist! I removed the stick and used pop-dots to adhere the butterfly. I use white embossing powder and Versamark for the stamp (Designers Choice from Scrappy Moms Stamps). Can I just tell you how BAD I am at using embossing powder!! It took 3 tries to get a clear image with out too much "dandruf"! LOL
In honor of Laura's blogiversary I am giving away a Scrappy Moms Stamps Special Delivery stamp set.
Just leave me a comment to be eligible to win. Of course, if you don't alreay follow me and you like what you see I'd love for you to join in and follow if you would like. :)

Your card is adorable! You should step out of your comfort zone more often! I love the layering and the colors you chose. very cute! A great reminder of spring!
This card is awesome. My cricut is in the shop and I'm going crazy. As my daughter says, "Mom are you scrapnapping again?" Well, I might have to just try your idea and use some cupcake toppers. That butterfly is adorable.
