#71 Butterflies + U is for Underneath and/or U is for Umber.
We have come to the end of the current themes and letters of the Alphabet and will be starting from fresh on the next challenge with new themes with a slight twist. Today though the Letter U was chosen by Pearl and here is the card I have made for your inspiration.
I wanted to make a Valentines card but not by using the traditional red/pink colours and to be a little bit shabby chic so here goes.
Card base is made from cream leather effect card stock.Folded in 3 to make an extra fold as the card is opened up.The butterfly edging is a tonic punch and another strip was punched out and adhered to the extra flap. Card is held shut with a ribbon bow that just slips off without the need to untie.
The butterfly image on the inside of the card has a key on it and this was the starting point for decorating the front of the card. All the embellishments were from my stash.
The butterfly image is from Hunkdory's Little Book of Butterflies.

Very Elegant. Love the subtle neutral shades of this gorgeous Valentine card, and the textures certainly make me want to reach out and touch it. The key to the heart is just perfect, and of course the beautiful butterflies. Love the delicate lace, but still with the textures, a good card for a special guy too. Well done! TFS & Hugs
