The colors for my card come from the latest challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. As I was putting this card together I wondered how a red butterfly would look and I'm happy to say that I like it! I layered the swiss cheese butterfly top over a vellum bottom and jazzed up the background with some sparkle medium speckles in a champagne color. I finished off the corner with some Nuvo Crystal drops in place of a paper layer.
My Freshly Made Sketches teamies have put together some great cards to inspire you to join us this week. I hope we'll see you in the gallery!

Poetic license is good! This is so pretty.....love the red butterfly! And about those drops.....why don't I have any?
So glad you went with the red butterfly, Jen. It really pops against the tag you've created, too. I did try the Nuvo drops, but was sooooo bad at it! Yours look just like enamel dots. Love that you've made this a rectangular card. Sweet!! Bev
The red butterfly looks perfect! And I had to smile at Linda's comment about the Nuvo drops - the enabling continues :)
LOVE it! The tag is a great take on the sketch and that red butterfly a standout!
What a lovely layout of the card, Jen. The layers of the butterfly are wonderful, it's indeed the cherry on your card! Loved to see that the colours of the Cupcakes challenge inspired you. Thankyou for joining us at Cupcake Inspiration challenges, hope to see your lovely cards soon again! Ishani x
