I tried to make it monochromatic but the purple kind of exploded on the card somehow.
I did a ton of things to the elegantly eggplant flower that you can't even tell I did. I cut out 4 SB blossoms, stamped them on front and back with the Hero Arts Definition of Love stamp, used an embossing tool to break down the paper fibers so I could separate the CS into two pieces, misted the 8 pieces and scrunched them, put a brad in them to hold them together and formed the flower. Then I edged some of the tips with purple Stickles. I turned the butterfly embosslet cut over and filled the embossed grooves with purple Stickles (I will do that again because I love how it came out).
Becky, enjoy watching everyone honor you with their versions of your terrific cards, and thanks for all the sweet comments you have left in my gallery over the last two years.

WOW! Those flowers are so beautiful! What an elegant card this is, Nancy! I love the embossing folder, and the stickles in the butterfly is a great idea. Lovely case of Becky's card!
