HMFMC #273 - Add a Charm

The House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #273 is anything goes with an option add a charm!

For my card, I used the Stampendous House Mouse Designs Butterfly Ride woodblock stamp.  The sentiment is from the Sampendous Life Words set.  The image was stamped onto white cardstock using Gina K Amalgam black ink and colored using PrismaColor Markers.  Die cut using Lil Inker Stitched Rectangle die.  I stamped the butterfly again onto a scrap of white cardstock and fussy cut to layer over the stamped image panel.  The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.  Designer papers are from my stash.  The Butterfly charm is adhered to a double loop bow created using sheer ribbon.

I'm sharing my card with the HMFMC #273 using the option to add a charm.
