Beautiful butterflies

Hello - another busy day studying for me - I'm nearly there though so just found time for a quick play and I've popped on to blog this card before the 'Bank Holiday Treat Take Away' arrives ! I've used a beautiful Crafty Individuals Stamp with a Marvy blending block ink pad, added some pink chalk and layered on brown card stock - simple, I think this is one of my favourate colour combinations. To draw out the Butterflies I covered them with Glossy accents. The sentiment looks smudgy on the pic but is actually quite clear IRL - honest!.

This card is my effort for a couple of challenges  - 
 Less is More  - 'Off Centre'
Secret Crafter Saturday - Pink, Cream and Brown
Crafty indivduals - Simply Square

    This is just gorgeous. I see you have started a Masters - good luck I know how that is when you work full time. I used to find Craft time kept me going though!
