Butterfly Birthday

Hello again,

I'm back to share another of the cards I finally sent to one of my friends who requested four female birthday cards, it was completely up to me what I put on the cards and this is one of them which I will admit to case-ing from my Pinterest boards, here is the link to the card I found addINKtive designs (Bronwyn), my slightly different version below... I was still trying to make the most of my large quantity of scrap paper and card, the pile of which never seems to shrink. As with most of the other cards I have tried to keep them as flat as possible to cut down on postage, rather than adding bling to this card I used single hole punched silver circles (they are metallic not that you can tell in the pic)

Here is my card:-


What I used:-
White 10.5x14.8cm card blank
CCD half doily die
CCD butterfly die
Scrap Kaisercraft paper (Blue Bay)
Scrap white, silver and glittered green paper
Hole punch (tiny/flat embellishments)
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Darkroom Door Sentiment (Full Bloom Vol.1)

I would like to enter this card in:-

Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...
Megan

P.S. Many thanks to all my blogging friends and visitors who take the time to comment on my cards and creations, I appreciate them all!

P.P.S. Apologies for not being around, too many medical appointments and then the usual high pain days to keep up with all my blogging friends, fingers crossed the rehab doctor I see this week will have some answers, nine months with dominant hand in a sling is not much fun.

Lovely card Megan, clever idea to use a hole punch to create the illusion of bling while keeping it flat for posting. I like the colour of the butterfly against the Kraft card base x

Very pretty card, and I do love your tip of using the punched paper for the embellishment. They are really pretty!

Love the colours of this lovely card and the papers are so pretty.
Oh Megan I really hope that things do improve for you very soon and please don't comment on my posts, I hate to think that just because I comment on your you feel you have to painfully comment on mine. Hope thing improve very soon.
Take care.

What a wonderful design and resulting beautiful card! I love the delicate dsp within the doily and the butterfly accent looks striking on the kraft base!
