Heartfelt Thanks

Good Afternoon Everyone
I hope all is well with you and that you are having a good week, not too long until the weekend!

I wanted to make a thank you card for someone special so I decided to have another play with the stunning Clearly Besotted Elegant Butterflies set. This is one of my favourite stamp sets ever, the butterflies and sentiments included are gorgeous and I love the matching dies too.
My die cut border is made with a Memory Box die - it took a bit of practise with scrap paper to get the cut in the correct position!




Side view to  try and show the dimension!

Items Used:
Stamps - Clearly Besotted Elegant Butterflies coloured with Promarkers
Dies - Clearly Besotted Elegant Butterflies Die Collection
Memory Box Piestra Die


I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:
Clearly Besotted Stamps Challenge - Take Flight
As you Like it - Your favourite Colouring Medium and Why - Promarkers, I love the range of colours, they blend so well and you can layer the same colour up which helps with shading.
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes

Thank you for taking the time to stop and look at my card today, I really do appreciate it and love to read any comments you may wish to make
bye for now
hugs

Hi Sue, I saw your card on the Clearly Besotted site and clicked on over. You have some very beautiful designs! I'm glad I clicked! I've bookmarked you so I'll be back - I usually sit down every evening (after the grandchildren go home and my husband is in bed) and enjoy my quiet time with my favorite blogs. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration. Oh, and I really like this butterfly card very much!
