Geometric Butterfly Birthday

I made this birthday card using the colours from the current Seize the Birthday challenge, they're not colours I would normally choose but it's perfect for a young friend that likes bright colours. 

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     Uniko 'Ink & Flip Geometric Butterfly' Layering Stencil
     Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' and Creative Expressions 'Mini Expressions - Stacked Happy Birthday' dies
     Distress Inks - Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick
     Snippet of white linen card, white matt card and blue matt card

I used Mustard Seed ink to stencil the butterfly onto a snippet of white card.  I cleaned the stencil and flipped it to stencil it again with Worn Lipstick.  I then fussy cut the butterfly.  I die cut the largest stitched square from a snippet of white linen card and layered it onto a slightly larger square of blue matt card before attaching it to the front of the card blank.  I die cut 'Happy Birthday' from a smaller snippet of blue card and attached it to the lower corner of the panel.  To finish I attached the butterfly above the sentiment, attaching it along the body so I could shape the wings.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Addicted to Stamps - Die Cuts and/or Stencils (I have used both)
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Cardz 4 Galz - Clean and Simple
     Seize the Birthday - Blue, Pink & Yellow
