Spring is in the Air!

Okay,  not really, but I'd like to pretend it is so I decided to break out my favorite springy stamp set, Papillon Potpourri!  I paired it with the challenges at Create with Connie and Mary and Pals, Paper, Arts. 
2012 Create Thursday-013PPA150 Color Challenge
 
 
 
I thought this color combination would look great with the Baby Wipe Reinker Technique.  I couldn't believe I don't have Basic Gray reinker so I had to do without!
My butterflies were a little too stark on the white so I spritzed them with some of my homemade shimmer spritz.  This particular one is gray/silver, so it toned down the butterflies a bit. I finished them off with some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  You really can't go wrong with a card using this stamp set and coordinating punch.  They are gorgeous!
