Cuttlebug_itis March Swap

I am having so much fun swapping cards over at Cuttlebug-Itis Swap group. This month we made Cascade cards for the single swap and a Gate Fold card for the group swap. Both swaps critieria were to use the colors of the Spring season. Oh my the cards everyone  made are so pretty.

The first card I made was the Cascade card. I think they are so pretty when the top of the card is punched so here is my first card.

For this card I used the following:

2. SU cardstock and ink pads of Baby Blue, Cameo Coral, YoYo Yellow and Perfect Plum.
3. Martha Stewart punch to make the fencing on top of card. Inked the fencing with SU Perfect Plum.
4. Front panel is using Spellbinders Butterfly Circles. The butterflies used on the fencing are from the die and colored with matching SU markers.
5. Stamp reads "Rebirth of Spring" from Just Rite Nature's Nested Sentiments.
6. Stamps used on main white panels are butterflies and flowers from the Martha Stewart Stamp       Around the Page 10 piece Starter Set.
7. Impression Obsession "Flower Mound" die
8. Spica pens used on the butterflies for a soft shimmer.

My second swap was a Gate Fold card.
