Smile You Got This And A Fathers Day Card

Hi everyone,
Today I am so excited to share with you 2 cards I made using the new Brilliant Butterflies Stamp Set from My Favorite Things. This stamp set allows you to build your butterflies in any colours you want as each butterfly has 4 Stamps, upper wings, lower wings, detailed wings and body. The detailed wings off sets and creates the most beautiful effect. Below you will find the steps to create your own Smile You Got This Card along with a Father’s Day card.
