2S4Y Card Sketch

Morning blog peeps!  Hope you're enjoying your Saturday so far.  I had a nice and relaxing morning and did a bit of blurfing, which was fun.  That's how I came across doing this challenge today and also came across my inspiration to create the flower on my card!  Here's a look at Laura's Sketch 49 from 2S4Y:

Then, I saw this flower tutorial on The Wedding Chicks blog, so I wanted to figure out how to incorporate it on the card!  Here's a look at the full card.

Isn't the flower fun?  Here's another look at it, from the side view:

Turns out, it's so easy to do! I'd love to make a vase of these...yet another project I'll have to get to.  And lastly, the butterfly - I sponged the edges with Creamy Carmel to soften it up a bit:

Now, you've gotten a look at all the card elements...Here's the recipe for you.
