Sponged butterfly

Easy card to make here's how:                           1.  cut a stencil from the beautiful buterflies die (or any shape you want to use)

2.  Lay the piece that has the shape cut out of it(your stencil) over your cardstock and using sponges apply the color starting at the bottom, each time you add a new color  overlap the previous color so the colors blend nicely.

3.  take your stencil off and then use your sponged image on your card in the desired way.  I put mine through the big shot with an embossing folder it give it some texture.

4. Added a gray layer behind the sponged image then wrapped this with the ribbon.

5. Put on the card base - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 folded in half.  you could add a word saying in the midde of the butterfly.   Thanks for looking
