Birthday Butterflies


This is a gift I made for my daughter to take to a birthday party. As luck would have it, this week's Stamp Something challenge is "something wild." I guess butterflies should fit in nicely. DD picked out a Target gift card with butterflies in pinks and purples with a yellow background. She also wanted to give her friend a sweet treat, so we filled the bottle with M&M's. The large butterfly is an acrylic from the $1 at a local scrap store. The little butterflies are from SU's Cause for a Celebration set. The colors are from SU's Bold Brights. The card base and ribbon is from Michaels. I stamped the black from Staz-On and used my kids Crayola watercolors. The paperclip is from Walmart's office supply section. Thanks for looking!
Update: I have had several people ask wht the bottle is...well, it is an Olive Garden Italian Salad Dressing bottle. My DH went to a lunch catered by OG and his boss sent some of the leftovers home with him. I LOVE their dressing and was only too happy to help finish it off and how cute is that bottle? And now you know!
