MTTC Xtra Special

A card for a special occasion! It could be for a variety of things, but the sentiment to me is 'Xtra Special'.
It's my DT card for this week's challenge at My Time to Craft, I'm sure you send cards to someone very special, so this challenge is just for you! Do come along and join in.
I used my Spellbinders Impressabilities stencil for the letterpress embossing technique for the centre panel. I inked the stencil with Basic Gray SU ink and then ran the card through the Cuttlebug to emboss it. I really like the effect. The sentiment is also from SU and the butterfly is from a Tonic punch.
It's incredibly simple but, I rather like the effect. I hope you do too!
