Merci butterfly is stamped off once in black on the WW oval and edges are sponged with Lovely Lilac, hole punched, and woven with organza ribbon from Oriental Trading; the color is much prettier IRL. I stamped another butterfly with StazOn on WW, colored with watercolor pencils then blended with baby oil, cut it out, and adhered over stamped image.
The DP was a great dollar store find and is mounted on Elegant Eggplant. I embossed the Lovely Lilac with Swiss Dots, then mounted the DP stack on it, then wrapped it with ribbon. The sentiment from Happy Harmony is stamped in Eggplant onto a double layer of vellum attached with brads. All of that was mounted to a piece of textured cardstock from the craft store.
I'm really pleased with the way my card turned out and hope my mom likes it, too. What do you think? Thanks for looking! :-)

Oh, I am so glad you played in your first FS challenge! This card is great. I love that you found this great paper from the Dollar Store, I love to look there for goodies -try the nail section, they sometimes have great bling! The card has great colors and the swiss dots are the perfect touch! Thank you so much for playing!

This is just lovely! The vibrant borders of elegant eggplant really make the soft pastels of the beautiful butterfly really pop! Wonderful challenge card!
