A quick Prosecco card

 


I needed to make a quick card yesterday.
 My neighbour had forgotten a birthday!

I have matt and layered my 6x6in white card with green card and then white embossed card. I die cut the elements using dies from a Sweet Dixie set. I paper pieced the glasses and inked through the bottle die and paper pieced the bottle. I die cut a white oval with a die from a Presscut nesting and added the sentiment before attaching it to my card. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

I printed the grand children's names and die cut them with a Presscut oval die and added them to the small butterflies. I added Tonic Nuvo drops to the butterflies.
