I'm still snatching moments of crafting and as a result they're very simple cards, like this one...
This card will end up being sent to my MIL who bizarrely likes the colour purple... meh! so I took inspiration from the new challenge at Color Hues.
The butterfly is by Penny Black and I've stamped it twice and coloured with Prisma pencils. The sentiment is from an MFT set, name escapes me... its my age! I've simply embossed it in bright gold, I know it looks dull as dish water but blame the wonderful UK weather for that blip!
Just to finish off and purely because my MIL is also a magpie I added some sparkle and a little shading underneath to appease myself :)
