Beautiful Butterflies

Good morning!

Today i have something different to my usual style and not a Tilda in sight, just lots of butterflies.

For the front of my card i used my heart die and new DPs from M&C ( The Works).

I cut a door into the card to reveal a hidden sentiment.

I cut a butterfly from some of the same paper and stuck it on top of another.

The inside of my card i used a couple of stamps and a snippet of the same paper.

A really quick and simple make.
