I was pleased to see my Honesty Heart card was one of the Top Three at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge and I was invited to be Guest Designer on a future challenge. As I love making cards with butterflies, I chose the 'One or More Butterflies' challenge. My card has six butterflies - four on the paper and two die cut from grey card.

6" x 6" white matt card blank
Lawn Fawn 'Giant Happy Birthday to You' and Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Dainty Butterflies' dies
BoBunny 'Isabella' paper
Grey pearlescent card
I trimmed the pink paper to 5" x 5" and layered it onto a slightly larger square of grey pearlescent card before die cutting the sentiment from the centre. I set the sentiment and small pieces aside and attached the panel to the centre of the card blank. I die cut the sentiment twice from grey pearlescent card, the first sentiment was inlaid into the card together with the small pieces from the pink paper sentiment. I attached the second grey sentiment on top to give some dimension. The paper sentiment was attached slightly offset to give a shadow effect. To finish I die cut two small butterflies from grey card and attached them above and below the sentiment.
I am entering the following challenges:
AAA Birthday Challenge - Anything Birthday Goes
Allsorts - Anything Goes
Alphabet Challenge - A for Air (my card has butterflies)
Moving Along With The Times - One or More Butterflies
Seize the Birthday - Primarily Pink

Beautiful card, Kath. The shadow shows up so well on the sentiment and the two butterflies finish of the card perfectly. Thank you for sharing your lovely creation in the Allsorts Challenge.

The background paper is extremely pretty Kath, and the inlaid large birthday sentiment backed with the two layers of grey really pops, and I love the sweet little grey butterflies to finish..a beautiful card. x
