Life With You Is Beautiful! by Anya Lunchenko

Hello everyone, Anya here today and I am so happy to share a set of cards with you that I created with the stunning Simple Vintage Cottage Fields collection! This is one of my favorite Simple Stories lines and I absolutely love how versatile it is! For today's card set I chose a soft pallet and lots of butterflies.

When you get to play with such beautiful colors and patterns, you don't want to cover too much, therefore I decided to keep these cards rather simple. Instead, I wanted to let the beautiful illustrations and embellishments shine on delicate backgrounds.

Time passes, fashion changes, but butterflies will always be in style! Today I added butterflies to all four cards, changing the techniques a little in each card: the first card has a butterfly as a finishing touch to the layered cluster of ephemera pieces; second card has a pair of butterflies, and one of them is decorated with a polka dot brad in the center; third card has a layered butterfly, using two butterflies of the same style but in different sizes; and fourth card has a curved line created with a bunch of fussy cut butterflies.

I hope I was able to inspire you to add butterflies to the next project you create, and there's no better place to find them than in the Simple Vintage Cottage Fields collection!
