I was asked to make a 60th birthday card and what fabulous inspiration at today's Inspiration Challenge website - Angel at My Table. I think I could make cards all day long inspired by this website!
I chose this vintage rose cushion, it made me think of this dp by KaiserCraft called Sweet Nothings.
I sponged all edges for the vintage look and added a die-cut butterfly - in the end I felt the butterfly was too big and overshadowed the rest of the card, but I don't have a butterfly die-cut which would have been just the right size. The sentiment has been computer generated using Monterey font.

Oh wow...so soft and feminine. What a beauty. I love this paper and that elegant butterfly. What a gorgeous colour combo here. Love the bakers twine treatment.
