This card was designed for the new #191 Signs of Spring or Blue Butterfly Challenge at The Card Concept using a long ago retired Wonderful Wings image along with a verse sentiment from the current stamp set, Farmhouse Scripture Quotes (Stamp Simply).
I used a piece of Bashful Blue cardstock that I had in my stash (with the oval already die cut) to create the background panel along with a few other unloved items from my massive stash, lol!
In addition to The Card Concept challenge, I am playing along with the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #201 Anything Goes Challenge, the Tic-Tac-Toe #199 Challenge and the Stamping Sensations Challenge "Anything Stamped opt. with Wings or Tails. I am also linking to the following SCS Challenges:
AOCC23 All Occasion Card Challenge- this will be an encouragement card
BVC23- Divine Design Bible Verse Challenge- this challenge encourages you to use Scripture on the front of your cards
USEIT2023- This challenge encourages you to use unloved stamps, dies, paper, etc. The Wonderful Wings image is from 2001, Bashful Blue cardstock retired years ago, the black ribbon and lace were in my stash and the Distress Oxide Stain is also many years old.

So pretty, Julie! I love the colors and background but not as much as I love the scripture and butterfly. Super well done. Hugz

Oh my, that butterfly is gorgeous and especially mounted over that beautiful background with the ribbon and lace trim. Nice framing of the scripture verse as well. Lovely card befitting that verse!
