Welcome,
I'm afraid that life has become very busy, and will be for the next month or more, so I may not be blogging, or visiting, very much over the next few weeks.
I enjoyed making this card. My starting point was the lovely card from a Prima pad of wee cards.
Once I had decided that that would be the focal point, I then had to work out what would go with it...
So there was the greeting, embossed in gold and die cut, with the edges sponged with Tea Die D.I., which I also used to sponge all the edges with.
The patterned paper has been in my stash for a long time - I am not sure where it came from.
The butterflies were cut from some silver card using a wee die that cuts various ones all at once - again I have had it 'forever' - I think it is one from Stampin' Up.
I added lace across the bottom of the striped panel, and two layers of ribbon on the mini-card, tying a wee knot with the thinner ribbon, catching both layers.
The base of the card is some Kraft cardstock I managed to buy - it's as scarce as hen's teeth here!
The inside was (sort of) randomly stamped with a butterfly stamp - again in the Tea Die ink.

Pretty card, Maxine!
There is so much work gone into the making of this card but it pays off. It is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you have added the butterflies to the lovely background paper. The use of the lace and the tiny knot just adds such a finishing touch to the whole card.
Someone is going to be very pleased when they get that card.
Blessings, Neet xx
