Using some patterned paper from DCWV and My Minds Eye, butterfly die from Impression Obsession, sentiment from Simon Says Stamp, a couple of sequins, and some twine I created this simple card for a birthday. The sentiment was pretty tiny compared to the rest of the card but I used it anyway because I liked it - in other words, because I wanted to!
The sketch I used is from Tuesday Morning Sketches and I dearly love it! Just my speed! I'll enter this in their challenge.
Thanks for stopping by.......

Love this birthday card. The butterfly is gorgeous with the bright pink body and the white overlay.
I LOVE the way the twine mimics the subtle background and the pink stands out against it all! I like that sentiment too and I think it was a perfect choice!
Awesome job on this Lynn. That butterfly is gorgeous.
What an absolute stunner of a CAS card! I love your take on the sketch and I really like the teeny tiny sentiment - I think it balances well with the rest of the elements :-)

Lovely card Lynn, your butterfly is beautiful and I love how you have the twine in behind. Thank you for joining us for Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Absolutely gorgeous, Lynn!
This is so pretty Love the way you looped the twine and made all the more special with that swirled background paper.
The banner and your butterfly are so pretty and so precious!
That's a really nice butterfly, and the darker shade of pink underneath shows it off perfectly!! The way you twirled the twine behind it perfectly carries the dsp theme through! Well done!
This is gorgeous ! love the butterfly :)
Love it Lynn! The butterfly is beautiful and the white twine is perfect!
Adorable card, love the dies Lyn and added beauties, everything is just beautiful.xx♥aNNie The Journey is the Start
Fantastic, Lynn! I love, love, LOVE that background paper with all the circles on it. Great butterfly. One of these days you're going to have to show me how you get the twine into loops like that. I've tried it a couple of times,having been inspired by what you do, but it just 'un-loops' on me. There must be an adhering secret. :-D
A beautiful start Lynn!! I love the way the dp has cool motion to it to go with the butterfly :)
Such a lovely card Lynn....Beautiful designer paper and the butterfly is awesome. Hugs, joann sassy raggedy

You really rocked this card Lynn - love it, and the tiny sentiment 'fits' and does not take the attention from that fabulous butterfly and twine.

This is a fabulous card Lynn!! I love, love that butterfly and those papers. I also love the string underneath the butterfly, if I would try to do something like that it would be a hot mess. I like your little sentiment, it's awesome! lol Hopefully the temps will break soon giving your some energy. Sure wish I could send you some of our gorgeous weather!! Hugs, Brenda

What a beautiful card!! I love that delicate butterfly die cut!!
Thanks so much for playing along this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
The sentiment size is JUST FINE! I liked it! It's very subtle and the eye is drawn to that gorgeous butterfly. Am liking the thread decorating too. I'm seeing that on so many blogs, and it's really pretty with this striking butterfly. Then I rove my eyes down to see the sweet sentiment. Love that background paper too. WTGo. Happy wkend, and Hugs. TFS
