fluttering by to say hi Butterflies Card

I like Butterflies. Created this card using Stampin' Up Butterflies stamp & punch.

Paper pieced the Butterlfies by first stamping with an SU Butterfly stamp on the flower pattern paper, then stamping with same SU Butterfly stamp on the dotted pattern paper, punched out the Butterflies with an SU Butterfly punch, placed the punched out Butterflies over the other using glue dots and added gems.
