Butterfly birthday

This is the first time I have inked this hounds-tooth Stampin' Up butterfly and I rather like what I see. I'm really pleased that I bought this Butterfly Prints set. The sentiment is also a fairly new acquisition from the SU Happy Everything set.  The check ribbon was rescued from some Christmas presents given to me by my daughter either last year or the year previously.The robust punch used for the border is also from SU and can chomp its way through fairly heavyweight card.
Clean & Simple yet again!

    Lovely card, that red really pops against the white.
    A wax gun is for melting the wax sticks and then making impressions into the wax with seals. You can light some of the sticks with a match but others don't have a wick in them and so need to be melted by going through the gun. I was going to put seals on my xmas cards but that never happened LOL

    This card turned out beautifully. I really like the print of the butterfly. Your desk is not in too bad a shape. Like the photo studio look. #95

    What a lovely card. I have the SU butterfly set, but i don't use it enough - and I really should.

    Great colour combo- and the houndstooth on the butterfly is really crisp.
