Beauty Abounds with single butterfly

I cased this idea from Andrea Guztmer, and then I did some tweaking.  These were supposed to be long cards - to fit in #10 envelopes.  Something like 4" x 9".  Well....I messed up cutting, and they ended up being 4" x 8" cards.  I still love them. 

The butterflies are all cut out from the Botanical Butterfly Designer series paper, which is one of the Free $50-level Sale-a-Bration items.  So pretty!

Card bases are Soft Sea Foam, Highland Heather, and Petal Pink.  The layers are all Gray Granite, and Whisper White.

I used a few Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets on the top two, and Pearls on the bottom (Petal Pink) card.

All three cards have a bit of Gray Granite 1/2" Textured Weave Woven ribbon.  I also added a piece of Petal Pink metallic ribbon on the last one. 

I think it's neat to make different size cards - they don't all have to be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"!
