A birthday card for Karen

Now a card for my sister in law is a big deal! She is an extremely talented card maker who has an innate sense of artistry and style meaning she rarely stamps. She is also known as a perfectionist - something I am most certainly not!
So...
When I saw this card on Monica Gale's blog, I knew I wanted to CASE it. Elegant, stylish and feminine plus the added benefit for me of being a style I had not tried before - the twisted easel card.
I used paper from the now retired sweet pea stack, and the flourish is taken from this years SAB. The butterfly is from my latest new plaything - big shot and dies. I used my nestabilities to cut the two circles. The monogram K is using the broadsheet letters.
If I was doing this again I would play around more with how to make the card stand up and the sentiment to face the correct direction.
Hope you like!
