When I saw Spread your Wings, I thought of the Monarch. In the fall they spread their wings and fly south. I used the Watercolor Wash stamp on Crumb Cake, then embossed Brick. Stamped and cut out two Daisys. (Pretend their sunflowers) I don't have a sunflower stamp yet. I looked up images on the internet to get my colors for the butterfly. Stamped in Archival and clear embossed. Colored with blender pen and ink pad. I fussy cut the butterfly and leaves. TFL

Perfect sentiment for the challenge. Love the brick background on this and the way you placed your butterfly on the flower. That butterfly looks so real.

Very creative to pair the sentiment with a beautiful butterfly. I like the elements you've combined in this card. The brush stroke background looks like a weathered barn. Sweet country look.
