Card Challenge

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post from me this morning to share a card.

Mum (Jenny) really loves LIM and Cas-ual Friday's, so I decided to give it a go this week and play along. Both LIM and CAS-ual Friday's challenges this week go together so well, so I have, like many others, combined the two. LIM asks for butterflies, and CAS-ual Friday's asks for bling, so here is my contribution to both.


Yes, I've used Kraft again, for those who read my post yesterday you'll know just how much I love Kraft cardstock.
For this card I have used the MFT dynamics butterfly die, and then stamped the flowers onto the wings and added some stickles (although this doesn't show up brilliantly on this photo). At first I drew the line so it ran under the greeting and stopped at the butterfly, but decided to carry it on to the right edge and am really pleased I did.

I just want to say to those of you who have also played along, I am sorry if I don't get around to commenting on your cards, I shall nip around and comment on a few but am currently studying for AS exams tomorrow and Thursday, so I am short of time. :)

Thanks for stopping by to take a look :)
