I have 2 cards to share today.  Here is the first one....super clean and simple!

To create this card, I used the amazing stamp and stencil combo that comes in the set and then die cut these 3 butterflies out of that panel.  I used the little clear stamp set that comes in the kit to add in the black details.  I scored a frame in a white card base at 1/2" and then stamped the sentiment and the little dotted line in black ink.  

I made one more card by adding in a few things that are not in the kit.  I used the Rectangle Masking Stencil, The Diagonal Stitch Rectangle Stacklets around  the masked area....with a little sky and grass blended in....and then I added the Modern Tree Stamp and Stencil Combo.  

After adding in the extras, I used the kit to create the butterflies and added in the sentiment.  This stamp stencil combo is SO fun!!
