Multi Challenge Card :o)

Hi folks! Hope you are all well...I'm still recovering after the busy Craft Extravaganza last weekend. Great to meet so many crafters and demo alongside so many crafting legends! Thanks and *waves* to everyone who came and said "Hi". I'll be sharing some of my creations with you soon. You'll be able to see the rest on the Craft Barn blog.
Anyway, on to today's card. I made this one for my wonderful sister-in-law and followed no less than 6 challenges in the process. The sketch and 2 Magnolia Butterflies are for Just Magnolia, A Spoon Full Of Sugar wanted to see Butterflies, The Saturday Challenge wanted 'Bling' ( I have used foiled card and added glitter to the wings) Cute Card Thursday urged us to use punches/dies (I used my Nestabilities and Woodware leaf punch) Lili of The Valley has a theme of 'Summer fun' (nothing says 'Summer' to me more than fluttery butterflies) and lastly Charisma Cardz has the colour challenge of Pink & Brown.
All the card, patterned paper and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards. I die cut the aperture and sandwiched between the layers a piece of acetate that I had first stamped with a decorative swirl stamp and Stazon Ink. I tied the ribbon bow and ribbon around some of the layers before adding the scalloped frame. My gorgeous character is a Hanglar stamp, coloured using Copic Markers and glitter. I have used Prisma flowers and topped them with self adhesive pearls.
Ciao for now!
