Our very own, Lois a/k/a Clownmom, issued a challenge to add a butterfly to your card. I chose to use Rita Marie's beautiful butterfly designer paper, flowers from her set "Words to Live By" and the butterfly from "Make a Wish". The paper and images can be found at: http://www.creativescrapboutique.com/.
I made a border with Martha Stewart's fence punch and paper pierced the blue background.
Added three white brads for some balance on the left hand side.
The butterfly has been colored with Copics and Diamond dust added.
Tip: Stamp your image on your designer paper to get the antennae and then cut out another and glue down one side to give the illusion of flight. That way, the antennae line up correctly with the butterfly.

Vicky, this is one awesome card. I love the composition of the fence, sky, flowerbed and butterfly. Great monochromatic look too. It's gorgeous to look at.
