Less Is More Week 16 - Butterflies

I'm sure the theme of Butterflies will have lots of entries at Less Is More this week. My aunt asked me to make a birthday card for her friend so two birds with one stone here.


I've used one of the Joycraft butterfly dies, the Stampin Up Beautiful Wings Embosslit and the Spellbinders Butterfly Reflections die all cut in lilac pearlescent paper with gems added.  I think the Spellbinder die will always be my favorite. I couldn't find a ribbon to suit it - they all looked too heavy so I've added a strip of lace using double sided tape then sprinked with glamour dust. The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations by Stampin Up!
