I don't remember who I case'd with this card. I didn't do a great job; something is 'missing'... would some ribbon help? some flowers? I don't know. It just isn't want I think I was aiming for.
Advice please!

the photo is not a good one so it is hard to tell what is going on here. can you stand the card up and take a photo. It looks like the butterfly panel is crooked, but I bet it is an optical illusion caused by the photo.
That said, you've got the makings of a good card. I think the striped horizontal panel is too wide. Try making it smaller than the butterfly panel and put it about a third of the way down. To add interest to the butterfly, dress up the body with some stickles, stamp the wings on vellum and attach a second set of wings or do something to make the butterfly POP.
The sentiment could work -- it is just hard to see it in the photo. another way to add interest to the striped panel is to paper pierce it on the top and bottom and maybe add a ribbon around it beneath the butterfly.
I spent a LOT Of time studying cards I really liked to see what they were doing that was different and I'm still learning. Have fun
