Here is a card for someone very special. I haven't been much inspired by these butterflies, but I do like the way this one turned out. This card started out with blue glossy cardstock, and I embossed the Flower Wallpaper cling stamp on it with white.....I wanted the idea of a sky with clouds and a flower garden combined for the butterfly to hover over. I thought the pastel pinks, greens, and yellows looked pretty against that shade of blue, so I chose small-scale ginghams, dots and stripes.Here's a close-up of the butterfly.
Supplies: CG123 Flower Wallpaper, CG130 Butterflies, CL278 Great Flourishes

Oh my, so much cutting and so perfectly too! Your butterfly is exquisite and it looks so beautiful on the pretty blue background. It really shouldn't amaze me, I should expect nothing but fabulous when I visit here, but you always manage to push the gorgeous envelope a little farther with each new design. Wonderful inspiration indeed!
