Summer Sparkle

I've been feeling summery this week and so today's card reflects that as the colours are warm and summery. Instead of a cute image I've gone for this lovely butterfly. I must admit I've had the papers a while, but have been reluctant to use them as they are so pretty and sparkly - I wanted to keep them to myself! Unfortunately they don't show up well in the photo.



I've used the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday
