Purple Butterfly Shaped Birthday Card

Created this Butterfly Shaped Card using Cricut
cartridge Florals Embellished and Gypsy to weld
the image together for shaped card.

Used shades of purple which is fav colors of mine.

Used Butterfly Brads to attach the ribbon to the
card so the card could be hung for display.

Used Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page
Butterfly to punch 2 Butterflies and stamp the
sentiment on them.


Photographed in my backyard hanging from a
Paul McCartney Rose bush. Yes, the Rose bush
is named Paul McCartney. Bought several yrs ago.
Hubby has transplanted it a couple times and it has
rebloomed each yr wonderful.

Photographed in my kitchen/breakfast table area
hanging from a Butterfly Hot Air Balloon that I bought
at annual Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival couple yrs ago.
The Butterfly clips on the hot air balloon basket were
from when my daughter was younger and worn in her
hair.
