I decided to let all that white space alone, to add some texture with an embossed layer, and to add a pretty butterfly using a couple of new dies that I recently got. My sentiment is in the wrong place but I think that's ok. I couldn't find any that fit in the space on top of that horizontal layer! The colors are from the latest challenge at Just Us Girls and they are perfect for spring!
On my way to making this card I discovered that I don't have any decent light purple ink or card stock, which I will obviously have to remedy! The purple that I used is a little bit darker than I wanted for this color combo but I made do!
I hope you have time to join us at CAS(E) This Sketch for our latest challenge. I'd love to see you in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by!

A perfectly charming spring card Jen!
So pretty, Jen. I love these 'Easter' colors you've used on this gorgeous CAS card. And that butterfly... So pretty! Great texture on your panel too. Used some of our favorite SU papers on my coffee card too. Bev

Love that delicate and beautiful pink butterfly, Jen - it looks wonderful against the lovely texture on the yellow strip and I love the purple card base!!! Really lovely!!!!
Gorgeous texture and dimension, Jen .... that deliciously delicate fluttery butterfly is fabulous ... so pretty! Anita :)
What stitched rectangle die did you use, please? Thank you. :)
onyx welborne, I couldn't find any way to contact you from your profile so I hope you're reading this :) The stitched rectangle is from the Blueprints 20 die from My Favorite Things.
