This card was made for today's Flutter By Wednesday #55 challenge hosted by Danni!! The challenge was to use red, white, and blue on your card in honor of her husband who was just recently deployed. I cased this week's featured stamper, Kathy Wattle!! Kathy is so incredibly sweet and I am in awe of her work. I love her elegant style so much that I had to case a third card this week. Here is the card: SFYTT Butterfly For You by Wattle at Splitcoaststampers
I changed:
the colors,
stampset,
color of ribbon,
sentiment,
punch,
and added dry embossing to my background. I kept Kathy's beautiful layout!

Beautiful punching and love how the butterflies are a center focal point and the great use of ribbon.

Ooooh, I just love those butterflies. I am going to have to check out my local Inkadinkado supplier for those ones. I love the dark blue you used, reminds me of denim.
