A birthday card for Gran!

Well I have been a bit hit and miss with posts lately as I warned I would be because I am packing and getting ready to move home in 5 weeks!! Gosh the time is flying past!  I have only been posting DT cards for the last week or so, but it is my gran's birthday on Sunday, so I have had to make her Birthday card and here it is :o)

No DP's just a dotty embossing folder and purple and black card, the 2 round dies are from a marianne creatables die cut set that I have cut and embossed

Side inside view

The butterfly is a die from Joy Crafts and I have added some mini gems

The flower is a marianne creatables die cut, and the leaf swirls are another joy craft die

the Gran sentiment is from do crafts family sentiments( had to cut Grandma but I will never use it as that anyway!!)

I will be entering this card into the following challenges
http://clearitoutchallenge.blogspot.com/ use up your bling, birthday
http://useittuesday.blogspot.com/ Birthdays (mini gems from stash and scraps of card for the die cuts)
http://sweetstampsblog.blogspot.com/ Bingo board(dry emossing, diecuts, flowers)
