I had something pictured in my mind, but something went terribly wrong. Well, not something, but several somethings! I started out embossing the oval using an Oval Cutter (CM) and my Silicone Rubber pad for the BIg Shot and a stylus. OK, that worked.
Then I did some masking, reverse masking and stamping. Well... my flower stamp had some strange fuzz on it so you can see a strange pattern on it, my grass didn't stamp great. Then I tried to sponge the oval but missed my scored/embossed oval line (duh!).
Well, then I just tried to salvage it the best I can. Covered a few things with my sentiment and butterfly.
I decided to post becasue it is a nice "idea" in theory so maybe someone else can try it and perfect it!

It's beautiful, mistakes and all. The fact that you were willing to share your "not so perfect" beauty, gives us newbies added inspiration knowing not everyone does it perfectly the first time. Love the colors and the layout. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your card flaws and all but I think you are to hard on yourself (aren't we all!!). I think it is lovely and what a cute butterfly!
