THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Perfect Sentiments Challenge.

Hello and good evening to you all out there in blogland.

The card I have to share with you is for Challenge #12 over at http://www.perfectsentimentschallenge.blogspot.com/  The title of their Challenge is THANK YOU with a SKETCH.
I have gone with shades of blues for this card. I think the floral paper is from Henbury Lane. All edges have been adorned with a silver chainlink border to highlight.
I have made my sentiment as the focal point for a change. It has been stamped onto white card, and then cut out using a Nestie shape, then mounted on a larger shape in dark blue.
To complete the look, I have added a double embossed butterfly, and added glittered flowers and rosebuds with punched leaves.
Thank you very much for stopping by, and if you wish to comment, that would be lovely. Happy crafting everyone.
