Kitty Bee DT Card - Thanks

We're at the half way point of our "Thanks" challenge at Kitty Bee, which is sponsored by The Paper Shelter and A Day For Daisies.  Both of our sponsors kindly gave the DT some images to play with, but I actually chose to use an A Day For Daisies butterfly digi from my own collection for my card.
 The patterned papers are Lili of the Valley, Beach Bliss, apart from the one I printed the butterflies onto: that's a piece of vintage printed card from Anna Marie Designs.  I added in some kraft card for matting, and embossed one of the kraft layers with a Papermania embossing folder, inking with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to highlight the pattern.  I used the same ink on all the paper edges and the doily to soften them a little and give them a shabby look.
I used a Papermania stamp to stamp the sentiment, and die cut it with a Spellbinders die.  I then added the fussy cut butterflies, giving them trails of Nuvo Drops, and I finished off with pearl embellishments in the corners.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
A Day For Daisies - #156 - Add Burlap or Kraft
Pile It On - #121 - Thankful / Thanks
Glitter 'n' Sparkle - #215 - Thanks / Thankfulness 
Craft For The Craic - Use Two Colours - Brown and Blue
Fab 'n' Funky - #328 - Things With Wings
Crafty Cardmakers - #177 - Embossing
