I saw an ad for our inspiration site and immediately thought it had great potential for this challenge with so many choices and styles! Julie invited me to make a sample and since I had recently scored these two stamp sets at a thrift store the butterflies in this pretty shirt got my creative ideas flowing. I am visiting my daughter and family so I didn't have a lot of supplies along and ended up raiding her stash for a few papers. I kept it pretty CAS and went with the colors from the berries and foliage rather than an exact look. My butterfly is stamped with Stazon onto watercolor paper and then watercolored with a paintbrush using inks from the ink pad lids. I fussy cut it and then used my marker to ink the edges of the butterfly and added it to my card with a glue dot after bending the wjngs.

There were some really cute things on this site and I liked that top that you were inspired by and love this beautiful card. I always love seeing scriptures on cards too!

Must say I love the website you chose and the clothes featured there. This is such a great treatment with limited supplies - softening and downplaying the bg panels really makes that butterfly the star of this card and we KNOW what a hand God has in turning an ugly caterpillar into this amazing beauty.
