This is for a few challenges :
Today's FREE 4 ALL CHALLENGE # 56 - How Does Your Garden Grow present to use by one of the newest Dirty Gals (Whoo Hoo - Congrats Again);
Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 314 - Miles of Smiles;
Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 324;
Tuesday from a couple of weeks ago COLOR CHALLENGE # 312 - Misty Celery Roses;
Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 316 - Trellis/Lattice.
I used my Diamonds and Dots embossing folder on certainly celery cs. I stamped my flower image in certainly celery on white cs then sponged some celery around for the grassy effect. I used a scallop mask sponging some marina mist for clounds.
I stamped the butterfly on white using tuxedo black ink 3 times cut all 3 out and colored them iwth copics. Adhered the wings together and then attached to my focal panel. LOVE making 3D Butterflies.
I inked a portion of the sentiment up in rose red, huffed and stamped then used my rose red marker to hand write in Smile.
I used a stamp set called "JUST DANDY" from MARKS FINEST PAPERS.
Sunday is our 12th Anniversary and I think this will be his card. But for now I am off to work.

Beautiful card! Love the image, your fabulous cloudy sky and the awesome butterfly! The pop of red for the sentiment is terrific and brings out the bit of red in the butterfly. And of course, I am as usual, amazed at your ability to cover so many challenges! TFS. : )
