I used stamps from two of the GKD February Release stamp sets - Lots of Washi and Signs of Spring - with a simple black and white color scheme. I cut a fairly large round hole to show all five Washi strips through, and matted the piece on black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and large butterfly on the front, then added some buttons and B&W baker's twine, and attached the unit to the card base.
I used some Stardust pen on the butterfly for a little shimmer. I left the inside blank to use as a note card.
