Butterfly Card

I ended really liking the ladybug card so I used the same colors and made a butterfly one!
I am entering it into the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge: Our challenge for you this week is L for Lace.

and

Paper Playtime: Challenge # 8 flower power


I received strips of lace from another blogger and decided to sew one of them into a flower. I love how it turned out!! I added a large marble stone to the middle!
The butterfly is from Walk in my Garden, I used swiss dots and spots and dots embossing folders. Both lace pieces I received in a swap!
