Butterfly Moment

I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do when I started out with the sketch by "Sweet Sketch Wednesday" but I just kept going and this is what I came up with.  This is probably the most ambitious card I ever made but I'm so happy with the results and it attests to why I love paper so much!    I hope you like it too.


The top has a "little card" as well.  This sentiment was actually my inspiration to work with butterflies, it's really beautiful.

A closeup of the tag and butterfly on the bottom part of the easel card:
