Here is a card that I made for my parents.
It's nice to remind them how much they're loved.
The heart is a delightful cut file (link below) that I made using my Silhouette Cameo.
I added some offset layers to the heart, then enlarged them all (including the butterfly) to fit on a 6 1/4" card base (the top white heart flourish / butterfly layer is 5.3" wide). I matted the card base with textured cardstock then adhered all the layers in place using liquid adhesive. Only the body of the butterfly is adhered to the card, the wings are gently rolled upwards for delicate dimension. The sentiment is a combination of three different fonts. I printed the sentiment on white textured cardstock, trimmed down to 5" wide, matted with black cardstock, then popped in place using foam squares.
