Hi! This card was made for today's Clean and Simple Challenge: Shades of pinks, greens and blues with optional chocolate.
I wanted to use my favorite background, Birds and Vine today...Hey, I haven't used it in a while! I think it was getting lonely in it's box! LOL
I scored the background and stamped the image in Espresso. The blooms were sponged in with Palette Reflection Blue. The leaves were colored in with Copic Markers. I rubbed Toile Pink onto Snow Storm Smooth and punched out the butterflies. Next, I sponged the edges to create a two-tone look. The buds were filled in with an Inkssentials pen.

Faith, I am so impressed that you are able to pare down your elements for this challenge, yet, your card is as beautiful as ever. The loops of ribbon are just right with this.
