Welcome once more - it is so good to know you call by.
This weeks release from McMahon Five Design.com includes a wonderful Happy Birthday sentiment that I was immediately drawn to.
Once I had printed out the image I chose, I decided to keep it simple and let the sentiment take centre stage.
The opposite corners of the sentiment panel were pierced from the back and rubbed with green chalk.
The panel was matted on matching green card stock, and then onto purple and some metallic butterflies added - they are more purple than the camera shows.
A simple card to construct and yet quite dramatic.

Thanks for calling by - may your day be blessed.
