Cards by Dorothy: Spring birthday

Spring birthday

I have been trying to find a way to use a new find - the other day I ran across a roll of felt ribbon at Dollar Tree. It has a solid and a cut out butterfly, but I only used the cut out one. It came in a few different colors, but I chose the mint green - than have had a hard time figuring out a way to incorporate this into a card! It certainly adds dimension, and I know I can also cut away the edging for a different look. The CS is from a Recollection pack, and the DP a piece from a DCWV pad I have had for several years! I used a Darice embossing folder for the butterfly bg.
