Beauty in Simplicity

Today I decided to put a card together for my aunt for Mother's Day and to enter it in several challenges.

The Callenges:
I decided to go with a scalloped oval card.  I made the base of the card from white cardstock welding two ovals together with my Cricut Gypsy.  Then I used the Lacy Labels cartridge to cut my scalloped ovals.  My digital stamp is from The Cutting Cafe.  This is absolutely as favorite as a technique can be and I use it as often as possible.  Simply print a digital image directly onto my cut shape.  I just print onto scrap paper then tape my precut shape over the top and run it through the printer again.  I simply added an organdy bow, a few pearls to the butterflies, a butterfly charm and some Stickles to the stem.  The hardest part of this card was finding black ribbon.  I discovered I have almost no black ribbon.
