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  -
