Butterfly Thank You


Last week I bought some 81/2 x 11 paper packs at Micheal's. The color combos in the packages often inspire my cards and that is what happened with this card. When I got the paper home I noticed that I had some decorative tapes that matched the colors. I created the background with the fun embossing layer before breakfast even.
I wasn't sure at first what to put on it, but I selected a butterfly off Live Simply when I was looking at my carts with animals on them.
After getting all the layers of the butterfly together I selected the thank you off the Holiday Cakes cartridge and finished the front off. For the inside I select a stamp I bought my daughter and colored it to match. It made a simple, but not plain inside.
I came to post this card and got distracted by the blogs (of course), but in the process I found out that the challenge at Red Carpet Studio is to use a butterfly on your card. YEAH!!  I love this card and not I get to put it into a fun challenge I love as well. Happy Sunday everyone.  I still have time to play in my craft room today so off I go.
