BUTTERFLY CARD FOR A SPECIAL FRIEND

A sweet friend asked me to make a card for her to give to one of her dear friends that is celebrating a birthday soon.  She gave me two clues ... purple and butterflies .... 

And this is what I created for her:


The sentiment was printed onto white CS and cut with a round die:


"Our lives are filled with simple joys and blessings without end;  but one of the greatest joys in life is to have you as a friend."

I pasted that on top of a shiny lilac CS diecut and added some gems and pearls and it was added to a lilac CS background, with the corners rounded:


I added the die cut butterfly that embellished with gems and pearls


and a spray of colour co-ordinated flowers, tied with a satin bow:

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
