I also used the current sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketches for my card.
You can see a close up of the paper and focal point here. I used lots of items with a natural feel, including card board to cut the MFT doily, netting, and some pretty jute flowers and twine.
I made the butterflies using a variety of different size butterfly dies, all from Papertrey Ink.
The sentiment "Birthday wishes", is from Waltzingmouse Stamps. It's the only stamping I did on this card!
I had a lot of fun making this, and love how it turned out! Hope it inspires :)
