One Card, 2 Challenges

Wow, someone told me
Mother's Day is next Sunday,
guess I've been asleep or something! 

I made this card today for my MIL
and it fits 2 challenges:
 the new Unity KOTM sketch
challenge which is HERE. 
The challenge requires
that I use a Unity Kit of the Month. 
I went back to my very first
set, April 2009's fresh beginnings. 

The second challenge this fits is the
 All Things Unity Challenge # 30, HERE.

For this one, I had to use texture of some kind.
I used a couple pieces of Amy Butler paper
that come covered with glitter.
I also embossed the black butterflies and
the sides of the pink panel.




Gift Tag to go inside, used masking technique:


The butterfly was cut with my Silhouette. 
The ribbon is from JoAnn's and the
cs is from HL, MS and Wausau Paper.
The button is from my stash and I
used a MS edge punch for the scallops.
