Butterflies and Flowers

Just a couple more I did today, but this time using butterflies and flowers!

This first one is for Mojo Monday #229 for the sketch, Color Throwdown's Challenge #180 and Cute Card Thursday's Challenge #205 to use winged things! I did a bit of faux stitching on this one as the strips looked a bit bland, but did them after I had stuck absolutely everything down and put 3D Gloss on my butterflies, so the "stitches" are not quite straight, but hey, it adds to the handmade look :P

Here's the colour inspiration from Color Throwdown.

And here's my card for it.
