I made this pretty simple and straightforward party invitation card for a young boy's birthday party.It was fun to make and turned up pretty cute.

Supplies required -

Decorative paper (for the front)
White paper for the back(I used printer A4 paper)
Green paper for the leaves
Any coloured paper for the butterflies
Floral tape
Bamboo sticks
Glue
Big shot machine(optional)
Cherry Lynn french pastry doily dies (optional)

Steps for making the card -

Step 1- Using the big shot and the very pretty Cherry Lynn french pastry dies,I cut out doilies for the front of the card in red paper.If you do not have the big shot,don't loose heart,you can still make the card by simple creating a free hand shape on the decorative paper or use loads of free templates available on the net.Trace them or print them on your paper and trim to get the desired shape.
