The spray of flowers on this retired DSP was perfect for the background detail in this challenge. Unfortunately, you can't see the middle flower with the other elements in place. I built my color scheme off the DSP. I layered the DSP onto Blushing Bride CS then mounted it on an Early Espresso card base. The Lucky Limeade horizontal panel looked so plain, so I dressed it up with a little piece of lace that I found in my stash. The banner is a small chunk of the border from SU's World Spectacular DSP. The sentiment is one stamp, so I stamped it onto Whisper White CS in two stages, masking each end and using my stamp positioner. I then used the Label Bracket punch to cut it out. I punched out another one in Early Espresso CS, cut it in half and adhered it behind the sentiment layer so that it showed top and bottom. I had to cut the two side points off so they didn't show. I popped this up on dimensionals. I stamped the butterfly on Early Espresso CS using Versamark ink then heat embossed it with White embossing powder. I used three pearls for its body, glued it to the sentiment panel and bent the wings up a little so it looks like it just landed.
