I have been on a trip for 10 days and I am usually a little rusty after such a hiatus, so I was thrilled that it was a Featured Stamper challenge for my first day back! I get such inspiration from the amazing creations we get to explore! And yes, it's definitely about time we went to Stamperrobin's gallery! Several jumped out at me, including this one: CAS226 NEON BUTTERFLY by Stamperrobin at Splitcoaststampers
I die cut the butterfly from the flower DP and cut two panels of the same DP so I could use the reverse pattern for a border. I used the die again to cut the end of the panel to match the butterfly's wing shape. I used a rhinestone instead of a pearl on the butterfly. Pretty quick and easy. Used more of the DP for the envelope flap. Feels good to be back at it!

Aw thank you so much for the card and thoughtfulness! I remember that card and the fluorescent colored inks I was trying out, heehee!
Your card is gorgeous, LOVE the border you got reversing the patterned paper! The paper is so beautiful and your die cut butterfly, wow! Love the wing shape on the banner end too! Thank you so much!

Your dp is gorgeous and it's interesting how different it looks die cut as a butterfly as opposed to being used as the panel. I think that difference is what makes this card look so stunning. The geometric designs on the reverse side are wonderful and I love that you decorated the envelope too. Welcome back and with such a fabulous card.

This is always one of my favorite challenges too, giving me a chance to browse through someone's gallery and find some awesome ideas. This card turned out so pretty!
