Butterfly Dreams Card

The Butterfly Dreams Card is a simple and gorgeous handmade card. The glorious golden face of the card is decorated with fluttering butterflies and is sure to set you dreaming. The hexagonal honeycomb pattern that runs diagonally across the card accents the honey color of the background. The single stand-out butterfly adds dimension to the card. Soon, we will be missing all the beautiful butterflies that surround us during the summer, which makes this a perfect card to cheer up a friend or say hello. If you are looking for handmade card ideas for fall, this is it.

This butterfly dreams card is unique and edgy! It's really a fun style! I like the antiqued puzzle-pieced look. It seems both of those looks would be easy to pull off with available materials. The color scheme is a nice contrast between the yellow and black with shades of gray and gold too. The card also has a lot of depth and movement to it and that caught my eye right away. Thanks for sharing!
