This gorgeous butterfly cameo has been a treasured and hoarded thing in my home. It was a gift from Sylvia (Sillyfilly) and I knew someday, the right card challenge would come along, so today I am joining the CAS white-on-white layers to allow the simplicity of this gem to shine.
This is a card for my favorite Aunt, who is also a treasure in my life. She loves butterflies! (thank you so much Sylvia!) I added cuttlebug layers, Spellbinders and a bit of Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish.
Be back to comment on this gallery after work! Have a beautiful day! Thanks for looking!

Classic beauty, my dear...the recipient of this gem is one lucky gal! The elegant die-cuts are layered masterfully and the dashes of color are in perfect balance. This would look my-T-fine on my windowsill! ;) Exquisite work, as always...
Oh my Pat this is breathtakingly beautiful!!! Those delicate layers of white to frame that lovely cameo. I do so love those cameos. I knew when I sent these to you that you would do something spectacular with them and you have!! I so love your style. I am sure your aunt will love this card. Hugz to you.

Pure perfection, Pat! That Sylvia is the sweetest, isn't she? I love how you featured this thing of beauty in the midst of all of these white flourishes, curlicues and leaves. Brilliant & beautiful (just like you - tee hee!) Thanks for sharing your amazing talent. Hugz.
