Make It Monday

We are back from Chicago after enjoying a couple of days in the windy city.  It is always great to see family and to spend some time in such a great city!  We walked more steps than ever before but boy did we have a great time!
This week's Make it Monday Challenge was to heat emboss.  This is something that I enjoying doing but just don't always make the time to do it.  I needed to a thank you card, so this is what I came up with.  Enjoy!

  3. I don't know how you pulled it off, but this card is wonderfully understated while consisting of some bold elements. The embossing gives the butterfly the perfect backdrop on which to fly. I'm going to have to tuck this one aside in my file.
    Glad you had fun in Chicago. It's on my 'places to visit' list.
