My sample today was made with the new "Don't Worry" set.....I absolutely LOVE this chicory flower image and the realistic butterfly is gorgeous too!! Using masking, I stamped the chicory image repeatedly on this tri-fold card, cut the flower outlines on the top of the two outside panels and punched the center panel with a Martha Stewart picket fence punch. The flowers were colored with Stampin Up markers, the apricot background was colored with a sponge dauber. The butterfly was sponged first with apricot, then highlighted with a Ruby Red marker and a white gel pen. This was a bit time consuming, but I will definitely make another one like it!!

Your design with the beautiful blue flowers (so soothing) with the white picket fences and the butterfly make it look like a garden for sure! Gorgeous!

That is amazing. I love the use of the picket fence punch and the cut out flowers are gorgeous. That takes a lot of patience. But it sure makes for a beautiful card! Thanks for sharing.
This is one I have my eye on, as not one of the butterfly stamps I currently own is realistic. I don't think we have chicory here, I can see this in all sorts of colours because I have no preconceived idea of what it should look like!
this is just too cute. love the picket fence. this is so creative.
Oh this is just wonderful!!! I never knew there was a Chicory flower, I love them! The butterfly looks as if he would just flit off the paper at any moment!
