I am also doing The Corrosive Blog Challenge which is to make a card for the guys! Goodness that is so hard for me. I still added my fou fou bow and a butterfly. The butterfly is marine mist and only sports one gold pearl so I am thinking it can be a manly butterfly. The bow is brown? This is about as manly as I can get I am thinking.
I am using my new spellbinders lacey squares. However, I like to cheat the nesties from time to time and get more bang for my buck. I made a rectangle to work with the sketch.

I'd say that the one pearl on the butterfly DEFINITELY makes it manly I have a hard time with "guy" cards too, luckily they don't get as upset when they don't get a card, lol! Gorgeous panel, ribbon, butterfly and love the color scheme!

What a wonderfully delicate card this is, Betty. I love the soft colors together and your punched edge and ribbons just bring it all together so beautifully. If you like Whimsy stamps, Betty, you might like to check out the QFTD25 challenge on Friday. Whimsy Stamps is going to be our sponsor and I hear they have some fabulous giveaways for the challenge contest winner!
