I have this love/hate relationship with my camera. It never sees the matching colors that are there!! It seems I have to try all over the house to find a spot that will show the card as it really is.........or does the fault lie with me???
Anyhow, I flipped the sketch. I hope you like it. It goes off to my daughter in law who has the screw removed from her ankle tomorrow.

Don't know what the exact colors are IRL, but they look lovely here. Your DIL will appreciate your well wishes....and that gorgeously colored butterfly.
I know exactly what you mean by your love hate with your camera. I often have trouble capturing the true shade of some colors. It's okay though because I wouldn't have known it unless you mentioned it. It's a beautiful card. By the way that is one of my favorite SU stamps.

Very pretty. I struggle with the same thing with my camera. I like how you flipped the sketch. The thought that went through my head when you said she was having a screw removed was that she would then "Have a screw loose!" I am sure she will love this card.
