Love Those Border Punches!

Sharon must love them, too!  And what a great idea for the No Time To Stamp challenge on her blog!  I use border punches all the time, but wanted to do something "extra" with it since it was a challenge.  How about "extra-patriotic?"  This is an older SU! set that I got from a friend last week.  It just put me in the mood for the red, white and blue!

This card uses the scallop border punch, but it's not necessarliy for the challenge.  It was supposed to be a CASE of a card on Lynn's blog...however, it morphed as I stamped!  The butterfly became a dragonfly!  Magic!  I wanted to catch that irridescence of the beautiful dragonfly wings...so I tried a black image with turquoise stickles over top.  It gives me that feeling..so I'm happy.  (Always a good ending to a stamp outing!)
