Birthday Butterfly ...

Good morning,

Sharing a card, I made for a work birthday.

These days when you make a purchase from Unity Stamps you will find a sealed packet in your order containing items to make a card/project. Sometimes there is even a little rubber stamps.

This card is made using design paper and a butterfly from one of the packets I received. I roughed up the edges a bit to add some interest.

Love how this turned out.

Supplies for 5 x 7 card

• Butterfly and design paper was a gift from Unity Stamps
• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base) & Stampin Up!
• Ink from Momento
• Pearls from my stash
• Puches from Stampin Up! (Scallop punch & Circle Punch)
• Sentiment from BoBunny
• Sketch by Me CCBC34
