Butterfly Birthday

I made this card using lots of snippets and the colours from the Butterfly Challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics', My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' , Lawn Fawn 'Happy Birthday Border' and Creative Expressions ''Finishing Touches - Dainty Butterflies' dies
     Crafts-Too 'Dandilion Time' embossing folder
     Snippets of dark green, dusky pink, daffodil and damson textured card and white matt card

I embossed a piece of white matt card with the 'Dandilion Time' embossing folder, trimmed around the edge and attached it to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the three circles from the dark green, dusty pink and daffodil textured card using the stitched die.  These were layered and then cut in half.  I die cut the fishtail flag from a snippet of white card - cutting the first half and then moving the die to the other end of the flag so I could get a 'V' in both ends.  I die cut the sentiment from dark green textured card and attached it across the centre of the flag.  I placed the half circles onto the upper part of the card front - leaving a small gap between the two pieces so the sentiment banner wouldn't cover too much of the inner circle.  To ensure the banner lay flat across the card I trimmed another snippet of white card and inserted it in to the gap between the circles before attaching the banner across the centre.  To finish I die cut two small butterflies from the damson card and attached them above and below the sentiment banner.
