The Best Thing

I signed up for a few swaps this month, so it was time to get busy making cards. I decided I wanted to make another cut-work card. I chose some black and white card stock that I thought would look good with the white butterflies. I'm also going to enter this card in the Flutterby Wednesday Challenge.

I started with an 11" x 7-1/4" white card folded in half. I adhered the decorative layer to the front, then cut out the opening with an X-acto knife. I glued on the butterflies across the opening at the wing tips. For the sentiment I used an Abraham Lincoln quote, which I stamped in black ink on white card stock. I die cut the quote with a round Nestabilities die, then cut a larger circle out of black to back the white circle. I added a gold brad to the top and bottom of the diecuts then adhered it to the card. Inside the card I put a light grey colored paper with the inside message on the right.
