I just LOVE this new set!! If you have followed me for any length of time you know how much I love using butterflies on my cards and how much I love scripture stamps. Grace is such a gift, one we can graciously give and one we can humbly receive.
Couldn't stop at just one card so made a second :)
Used one of my favorite colour combinations of pink and green for this card, and added black accents for a bit of pop. Adore the sentiments in this set and the butterfly dies - you need not say more LOL!
This release is going to get a lot of use in my craft room!
