This is for the Hope Floats challenge. To use something that floats. Also I am entering it into Sabrina's Ways to Use It challenge even though it is not one of the symbols she gave. I think this swallowtail represents hope gliding through the air. Hope that's not taking to many liberties. Pun intended.
Thanks to the hostesses of both challenges for taking your time to do this.

Butterflies definitely float through the air, so well done on this card! It is beautiful. I love the way you've colored your butterfly, so soft, pretty and pink. Lovely!

I love that butterfly image, Sylvia - and it is a swallowtail ;-), so you got swallow in there, even. It's beautiful in white on the kraft, and the pink looks great.

Considering what a butterfly goes through to actually become one, I would definitely say it's a symbol of Hope! Beautiful in white on kraft cs, Sylvia!

I must say when I saw the challenge, I didn't think of the movie, but of Ali's words, "Float like a butterfly"...I know it is incongruous, but there it is. : ) LOVE your beautifully colored pink butterfly which will bring hope to the recipient. The Kraft makes a stunning bg.
