Butterfly Birthday . . .

Hello Dear Friends!
Wow! What  a whirlwind week/weekend I've had!  NOTE TO SELF:  Don't book two shows back to back THEN demo for a stamping company at the annual stamping convention ALL IN THE SAME WEEK AGAIN!!!   I'm getting too old for all that!  LOL! 
Okay ... now that's I've caught my breath (not really ... a stamping friend popped in here on Saturday from Illinois and we've been running all over the country side!  lol)
ANYWAYS . . .
Today's card is my inspiration card created for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.
I love, love, love how this card came together!
ALL die cuts with the exception of the sentiments!  
QUICK ... EASY ... BEAUTIFUL!!


Inside

Here are the dies I used on this 5x7 card:
Creative Expressions Sue Wilson 'Greek Island' Corner, Border & Tag  CED5102
(sorry, no longer in stock)

Instead of using a solid card stock for my die cut background panel, I decided to use a sheet of designer paper from the Paper Studio 'Kirby Teesdale Studio' paper pack.  And so glad I did ... it looks awesome! 

The silhouette portion of my butterfly was die cut from raspberry card stock then I sponged white craft ink from the center out as well as the outer edges before overlaying with the black panel.

It truly doesn't get much easier than this card yet it looks like it took a lot of time to create!  I hope you have found inspiration in my card today and remember you can pop over to our Inspiration Blog for a new inspirational card creation from the team every day Monday through Friday!
