Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around GREEN. We are excited to share our creations with you today.  There’s a wonderful variety of styles and occasions celebrated in this hop! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

For my take on our Hop Theme, I took the name seriously!!!  I went with GREEN, GREEN, and more GREEN.  It is nice to get outside of your normal comfort zone.  I hope you like it.

Butterfly Bounty Thinlits, 148536

I used three shades of green for this project.  The base is Mossy Meadow, the background layer is Pear Pizzaz and the top layer of the butterflies is Soft Sea Foam.  The designer series paper is the Floral Romance DSP.  It contains both the Mossy Meadow and the Pear Pizzaz.  So instead of trying to decide which piece to use, I opted for both of them.

Of course the star of the show is the Butterfly Bounty Thinlits.  They are fabulous.  There are 20 dies in the set!  The large one I used is actually two.  They could be used individually or layered on top of one another like I did here.  An almost “must have” is the Multi-purpose adhesive sheets to easily adhere these two pieces together, and add it to the card as well.  It makes life much less frustrating!!

The die is actually two butterflies larger than the three that are attached together.  The one on the bottom and one extra were attached also.  I decided it was too large and cut the two off.  Then I decided I needed the smaller of the two to hold my little sentiment banner.

The sentiment is from the second butterfly bundle in the Occasions catalog, Butterfly Gala.  It is punched out with the Classic Label Punch.  Of course I needed to add just a touch of bling to my card.  Butterflies are so elegant that I knew pearls were the proper accessory for these beauties !

I have included all of the products I used at the bottom of the post.
