Butterfly Shaped Thank You Card

Created this Butterfly shaped card using
Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and the
idea of using the Thank You words on a
center mounted Butterfly.

Chose blue paper to be like the sky and
purple since purple is a fav color of mine.

Embossed the purple Butterfly layer.

Used foam adhesives to mount the Butterfly
layers for 3D look.

Stamped main Thank You sentiment in

center and a 2nd thank you sentiment
repeatedly.
