This card was designed for The Card Concept #55 "You Are My Sunshine" Challenge along with the JUGS342 "Butterfly" Challenge, Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #24 "Butterflies and Blooms" Challenge and the SC585 Sketch Challenge.
I am also linking to the Splitcoaststampers All Occasion Card Challenge for May and the USEIT2016 Challenge (since I have not inked the Graphic45 stamps in quite a while) and the MIX33 "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" Challenge (I used ModPodge on the butterfly wings to give them shine and more stability and Tim Holtz Distress Crazing Medium on all of the background panels).
I am giving this card a "3" for difficulty since it has many different steps to create the background :-)

Julie, this vintage card is gorgeous! I lvoe the background papers and the fantastic flowers, as well as the beautiful lace border. And those butterflies are awesome too. All the distressing makes this a truly vintage card. Favourited and pinned too.
