Birthday card fun

My moms Birthday is coming up on Monday and I needed to make her a card. I wanted to make her something different than cards i've made in the past. I found a piece of paper I had inked and played on some time ago. In fact it was the paper I made and used for my old blog header. When I picked the paper up I knew I wanted to use it for her card. 

I also used some brown paper I got from the paint store. I tore all four sides of that paper to give it a shabby look. I also really wanted to do some sewing on it too. The butterfly was one that came white & i used my spray inks to color it. I also did a little stamping on it. Then I decorated the envelope too.
