Yesterday was world card making day so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take part! I needed to make a quick card for a friend who has a passion for the butterfly stamp but wanted to do something a bit different with it! I decided to go for colours that I wouldn't usually associate with something as delicate as a butterfly so went for daffodil delight and black. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!

I used the happy birthday from 'sassy salutations' - I did however make the school girl error (once looking it up!) in that I used basic black ink on the whisper white cardstock - it doesn't work! Luckily I had some staz on black in the depths of my cupboard so now I know what to use next time!

Anyhow - happy world card making day for yesterday!
