This card was made from all scraps! I made my own stripes with scrap paper. I'm not really good at paper combos so I ended up with shades of pinks and greens placing my paper over the black card stock. I cut it in the design as shown from a card sketch. I had a little difficulty lining up the stripes with this sketch. On the top left it wasn't at all even along the side so hence the design text area! I die-cut the 2 pieces using a technique of die-cutting in ways to change your die-cut sizes as seen on Youtube. I added the butterfly and hand-drawn the "flight" with a black pen. The oval die-cuts were stamped and the leaf pattern was colored in with alcohol ink.

I am not good with color combo's but I like your choices, neat how you cut it up and added the butterfly flight and the die cut on the edge is a neat touch!

Fabulous card. I love the stripes and your color choices. Those diagonal black lines really add a design punch. Your text save looks planned and adds wonderful detail with the decorative half-circle. Great job on the doodled flight path too. Great card!

Fabulous design! Wonderful way to use up scraps. You did great with the color combo and how you laid out the strips. I like the sentiment piece on the right side. Your hand-drawn butterfly flight looks terrific. Nicely done, Betty!

Betty, this is beautiful in so many ways. I love the stripes and colors along with the pretty butterfly. Good drawing with the "flight" and I love how you did the sentiment.

What an eye for design and color you have, Betty. This is beautiful!! More goes into a card of this type than just gluing on "any old strips". The butterfly sets it all off so wonderfully.
