Here’s a quick card and quick post to get one more card in for the current Desert Islands Crafts Challenge.  The itinerary elements I chose were something alive (the flowers and the butterfly), something with wings (the butterfly), make it pop (the butterfly’s wings are popped up from the focal panel), and using a quote for the sentiment.  I used this week’s Stars and Stamps Blog sketch for the layout.  And now I have another birthday card for my Operation Write Home stash!
