I changed:
-colours
-orientation of the stripes (from horizontal to vertical) and the strip (from vertical to horizontal)
-no flowers/leaves
-no origami
To create the rainbow strip, I chose 10 of my Copic markers and used the chisel tip to add stripes. I trimmed it to about 2 inches wide.
I stamped the butterfly from Essentials by Ellen Be the Change, die cut it and then fussy cut the wings so there would be no white 'halo'. I shaded it with some cool gray Copic markers and added some Star Dust Stickles for sparkle.
I cut a white circle with Essential Circles dies and stamped the sentiment from the same set. I placed the butterfly on the strip, over the white circle sentiment to determine where to cut out a triangle portion from the rainbow strip to enlarge the sentiment area.
I popped up the rainbow strip and then popped up the butterfly with foam tape just under the body, so I could 'fluff' the wings a bit for more dimension.

This is so pretty, Ardyth! I love the pastel rainbow colors, with the black and white butterfly! What a great way to accent the sentiment with the butterfly!

I went to comment on your card before but as I was reading yours, I realized I had forgotten to state my different choices on my card, lol. So now I am back to comment. Love the sentiment and the rainbow of colors. Very cool with the chisel copic tip. Great coloring and love the square shape.
