Layered Butterflies Thank You Cards

The graphic at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie inspired my card colors and shape (the pink thank you cookie resembles a butterfly to me.)  The Layered Butterfly Thin Cut Die is from Close to My Heart along with the pink and rose foil paper from the recently retired You Are Enough paper pack.  The Thanks sentiment is from Honey Bee Bitty Buzzwords.  The bottom card stock color is Sangria.

Here is the If You Give a Crafter a Cookie graphic that inspired my card:

I really liked my card design so I made another one in bluish green using a Pixie Sparkled panel with Glacier card stock on the bottom:

Pixie Sparkled Panel for Freshly Made Sketch #493

Several weeks ago I was playing with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkles and created several backgrounds with different colors.  One of those panels is the central element of my card today adorned by Crafter's Companions butterflies (Spread Your Wings) stamped on Recollections Color Splash paper. This card is so sparkly in person!  The strips surrounding the panel are Lagoon Card Stock and the Get Well Soon greeting is from Alinacuttle (Create a Lovely Life).
