My Get Well Card for Riley

Hello again! Two posts in one day! haha. Here is my get well card for Riley, the cancer patient who made a special request to "Make a wish foundation". She simply asked for a mailman to drop a bag full of get well cards on her bed when she returned from treatment. So her is my card! I really really enjoyed making this one. It certainly makes a difference when you know who you're going to send the card to. I definately enjoy it more that way. I wanted to make it as girly as I could.

It all started with this butterfly image that I found online. I converted it to an svg (it's tomorrows freebie Thursday). Then I was playing around with my cricut markers which I've had for quite sometime but I've neglected them. I drew the image, then used the "shadow" feature to cut around it. Then I decided it was still too plain, so I used purple stickles to fill in the space between the marker lines. I loved the end result so much better. Then finally I colored some tiny gems to make them match the pink and dressed it up a bit.
