Birthday Butterfly

This is the final card, for now, that I have created with the beautiful new Craftwork Cards Blush Rose Collection - I need to take a break for a while to work on a magazine commission.

This is quite a simple design, I cut two matching squares from one of the beautiful papers- one slightly smaller than the other, I matted them both onto some silver grey card stock and then layered them up using foam pads for dimension.

I fussy cut the butterflies from another sheet of the paper and added them on top.  The sentiment is also from the collection, I added a layer of pink paper and then a scalloped circle cut from the silver grey card stock.
