Perfect ending to a fab week...

because I've had another order for some cards for a friend of my mum's and have sat for 1 1/2 this afternoon making 6 of my 'Happy Birthday' butterfly cards.

These cards have to be one of the simplest I have done. The 'Happy Birthday' is embossed straight onto the white square card. A length of ribbon and some jems are added to the lefthand side, and I have used the craft robo to cut out the butterfly. The wings are slightly folded to give a 3d effect and is attached to the card using some 3d pads. To finish each card of I have made an insert with best wishes on it. Really, really like these cards in the colours I have chosen.

I'd like to enter these cards into the Magical Crafts Challenge for this week - things with wings and Flutter By Wednesday's Challenge
