Enjoy the Simple Pleasures

I found a new (to me) challenge called Flutter By Wednesday.  The requirement on this site is to create cards that include a butterfly or fairy.  This week's challenge includes a sketch that I really like.  Bet I use this one more than once.

I also made the card into a Friendship Card which can be used in the Operation Write Home Midweek Throw down challenge.

Designer Paper:  My Mind's Eye "Reunion" 6" x 6" pack.
Sketch:  Flutter by Wednesday
Sentiment:  My Favorite Things "Flopsey Goes Camping."
Embossing:  Cuttlebug "Birds and Swirls" folder.
