Oh! I had a time with this one! First I created this for Speedy Fox challenge and didn't have the challenge written on my calendar correctly so I made the wrong card, uploaded it and realized my mistake, I had to make a whole different card!
Secondly here's a Hot TIP.....If you are going to take a rather abstract background and cut it up.....make sure you mark the back so that you will know how it goes back together again!!!!!!! I think I could have created 3 backgrounds in the time it took me to puzzle this out!!! In the end I am not sure if anyone would have even noticed but I couldn't let it go until it was matched perfectly! (Insert rolling eyes at myself here!)

Ha.....thanks for the tip. Sorry you had to re-make a card but this is beautiful. I know you are a perfectionist and had to get the squares just perfect. Love the embossed bg.

Lol!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who did that! Dina got me addicted to those inchies and so I cut up a picture and for the life of me could not get the stupid thing reassembled in nine squares. But you did beautifully! Mine ended up in the recycle file. I think you know what that means :-)

I came looking for your IC card and spotted this and had to look more closely at it. Oh my, haven't I just been there with cutting up detailed backgrounds like that. I think I learned the hard way when doing the Brick Wall technique with something like Weathered. I just love the look of your background, so soft and pretty.

Angela, this is just so pretty...I am glad I clicked on it so I could see your beautiful bkg. I just never think of using bkg stamps in these enteresting ways. Your colors are so soft and serene. The butterflies are the perfect accent for yoyr gorgeous bkg.

This is so soft and pretty! I do not think anyone would have noticed they were not in the correct place - that was why I quit quilting the inchie wallhanging quilts. I would be so careful and then when it was done!!!!! you would see one out of place!
Your butterflies are beautiful especially with the gorgeous blue pearls. tfs
