I started this card yesterday for the TLC449 faux white wash challenge, and the MOJO313 sketch. It almost ended up in the trash. I made some changes and thought I was done, but then I looked at the colors for today's color challenge. So I added the butterfly and I really liked how it turned out. So another rescued card. If you would like to see the progression from what I thought was an ugly card to this card you can see the photos on my blog. Mississippi-McGyver I didn't get the dessert of a bow, but I did use ribbon so does that make it a light snack?

So glad it didn't go into the trash as it turned into a beauty. Just like the caterpillar becomes the beautiful butterfly. I love what you did with the colors .

Definitely a light snack! This turned out just wonderful!!! I am so amazed by your talent making those butterflies. So realistic. I love that you cut the daisies out. Great job doing the technique. Oh, the faux stitching is awesome, too! Or is it real????
