I knew I wanted to use these ferns and a butterfly. The butterfly goes flat for mailing and I even used a sequin, not a pearl to keep it completely flat. Our challenge was to create something beautiful that was not bulky for easy mailing. I misted the entire card with a little Glimmer Mist which never shows in the photo but it gives a fine shimmer.

Beyond beautiful. I really like the repeated fern leaf in different colors, even one in pink! The butterfly is sweet with the raised wings that would easily go flat for mailing. I like the splatters; I need to do that more. There's even a bonus postal image for the challenge. The sentiment is fabulous! This would be an excellent card to slip into the mail with no extra postage. Thanks for supporting HYCCT and my challenge!
