Birthday card

I made a card for a friend's birthday, using card sketch #102 from Feeling Sketchy.  She's a no-fuss kind of lady, so I kept it simple:


(That's a block of Lindt chocolate peeking out from behind the card - which I enclosed with the card!) I used a handwritten sentiment, and the butterfly is partially fussy-cut from the journalling card, to make its wings stand out:



I'm entering my card at Clique Kits, where Anything Goes for their inaugural monthly challenge, and Butterfly Challenge, where the theme is butterflies in autumn colours.

  1. I do like that way of patially cutting the butterfly away from the rest of the card. Gorgeous colours on your butterfly too. Just right for my challenge. Thankyou for fluttering by. Erm I looked behind your entry but there was no chocolate bar! hugs mrs A. (butterfly challenge).
