Clean & Simple... I'm Here For You

When I first saw the 3rd Double Dare Challenge by Naki & Nina, I was thinking "No way can I do a Halloween paper pack with a butterfly!".  Spooky and butterflys just don't go together.  Well, our Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP is not only my favorite Halloween Paper in a long time, but I am finding it very versatile also!!!

I pulled out a retired stamp set that I love, called Butterly Prints.  One of the butterfly stamps has the same Houndstooth design that some of the paper pack offers, and I thought with butterflys I would probably be better working with a clean and simple More Mustard and Very Vanilla color scheme then with blacks, grays, and oranges offered in the other Houndstooth design.

Note that the Word Window Punch is longer than what is seen above.  I punched it farther to one side and then used a sticky note to extend the size of the paper, putting the punched piece back in and punching the other side shorter, still having the curved edges on both ends.   I have been using this sticky note trick quite a bit lately, allowing me to use smaller scraps, etc, to punch desired shapes.
