You Matter Very Much

OMGoodness friends, I have been sooooo busy with our kitchen make over! It is coming along nicely, but slowly since we are doing the work ourselves. I hope to share some photos real soon. I have been itching to get inky, I am missing my creative time. I want to share a card that was created for lots of challenges, check them all out below. I have used the sweet butterfly stamp from Simon Says Stamp, Butterfly Friends. The sentiment is totally sweet and it is from the set Friendly Flowers. I have used embossing paste to achieve the background, some tiny washi tape and gemstones in the center of the butterfly complete my card!
