Butterfly Wishes

Good morning!

I found this butterfly in a set that I bought at the Wilton tent sale over the weekend. Isn't is gorgeous? The body is actually a fairy.

Anyway, I needed a birthday card last weekend and this just screamed to be used.

I found a great product recently - a Sakura Quick Glue pen. I used it to add the glitter to the box front. I love this pen!

I stamped a bunch of butttons a while back to use on a project and then never did anything with them. When I found them the other night, I decided I'd better use them on them.
