Hello lovelies. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend so far. Today, I wanted to make a card for a sweet friend, so I thought I would use the sketch over at the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #284 blog. This is their sketch, which is a sketch by Karren!
I hadn't used these butterflies from Clearly Besotted or this embossing folder by We R Memory Keepers in a long while and they are actually a couple of my favourite crafting items (note to self: I MUST use my favourite items more), I don't think this card needs any more explanation, so on to the pics!
There is a little shimmer spritz to the base card, which isn't showing in the photos, but it is a subtle shimmer.
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!
If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
