Well - better late than never. At first I had no idea what to do - but after a restless night thinking about it between snoozes it came to me. Funny how something as simple as a card challenge can give you a rough night!
Lots of butterflies on this card and just the right sentiment for it too.
Not too many butterflies around here at the moment - just too cold for them. I do miss them in the garden.
For the Ways to Use it Challenge - at the moment my favourite tool would be die cutting followed closely by embossing folders. My favourite tool of all times would have to be my Derwent Colour Pencils and H20s for colouring my stamped images.
Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy.

Laughing - with you, not at you! I've also had restless nights thinking about cards. The worst part is, I often think of something brilliant and come morning - can't remember it! Looks like your restlessness proved fruitful - beautiful card!

I love the crisp look of the die cuts against the less sharply defined images in the DP! Really lets those butterflies lift off the background. You've matched your banner colours to the DP so wonderfully and your lightly distressed edges really finish this card off beautifully!

Oh, dear Helen, what a beautiful card! I had to chuckle, because I too can be kept awake with thoughts of a challenge!! So glad I'm not alone! I've been AWOL a bit and missed some of your cards. This is a delight, and I love all the beautiful butterflies and especially the fishtail banners for the sketch! What a delightful card, my friend! It's hard to imagine you are getting cold as we warm up more here, but I know you still are always inspired by your garden and the beauty surrounding you! Hugs!
