When making this card, I had a lot of embellishments on my desk. I took a photo of them all piled up and sent it to my craft friend. I said "IT LOOKS LIKE MY EMBELLISHMENTS PUKED ON MY CARD." After a lot of layering and rearranging, I came up with this card. I sent the finished photo to my friend and got this response. "It is delicate, shabby beautiful mess." I agreed wholeheartedly and told her so. It was a mess, that combined together made art. Then I got a second text saying "I'm so sorry. It was supposed to say beautifulness. not MESS." I told her I was going to share this story because I thought it was funny and it might make you laugh. I still think she was right the first time.

I would have said beautiful shabby chic and not a mess. The vivid blue of the butterfly against the old-fashioned roses looks just lovely. I really like the way you have used the lacy circle die-cut, and that wide strip of lace is absolutely gorgeous.
