A Butterfly Birthday

Happy Monday Everyone!

Between working on holiday cards and goodies for an upcoming show,

I decided to breakaway and create something just for fun using

a few dies I had laying on my table that I received earlier last week
from the Dies R Us Store.

 The dies I'm referring to are the Carabelle Art Cut 'In the Nature' #AC60008

the Impression Obsession Large Flourish Background #DIE473


and Poppystamps 'Petal Ribbon' #1414

During my creating time I decided to have a look at what
challenges were out there in blogland that I could aim this card towards and I found that
over on the Butterfly Challenge their current challenge is: #66 Butterflies + Q is for Quotes and/or Quick Silver

I'm going with the 'Quick Silver' approach using Silver Stickles across the upper left top & side as well as a few (Martha Stewart 3-in-1 butterfly punch) Silver Metallic butterflies.

A few other challenges I'd like to share in are:
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #45 - Anything Goes
Just Us Girls Challenge #369 - Metallic
Brown Sugar Challenge #224 - Anything Goes

Well I guess I'd better get back to work ...
 But before I go, here's a peek at the inside of my card:

Thanks for much for stopping by and  as always . . .
