To a Lovely Friend

I made this card for a friend's birthday using lots of colourful snippets and one of my favourite birthday sentiments.

To make this card I used:
     C6 white hammer card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics' and Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Dainty Butterflies' dies
     Card Making Magic 'The Best of Cardmaking Magic' stamp
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Snippets of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet textured card and white hammer card

I die cut an oval from a snippet of white matt card and placed it into my MISTI before using black ink to stamp the sentiment.  The panel was then attached to the card front.  I die cut seven small butterflies from the rainbow colours and attached them around the top of the oval in a rainbow shape.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Addicted to Stamps & More - Birthdays
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Sentiment (this is one of my favourite sentiments for friends' birthday card and I use it either on the front of cards or on the inserts)
     CAS on Fridays - Rainbows
     Cut It Up - Friendship
     Krafty Chicks Challenge - Birthdays
     Moving Along With The Times - Use Your Favourite Stamp, Die or Tool (I have used one of my favourite birthday sentiments, my favourite small butterfly die and my MISTI is my favourite tool)
