Here is my card, it's just waiting for the right sentiment.
The watercolour background is smooshed Distress Oxide inks on Water colour paper, I then Die cut the butterfly (purchased from Aliexpress) out of 110lb white card stock and navy blue. I inlaid the navy blue in the white, and love the pop of colour framing the smooshed DOX inks. The main panel was cut with the Crazy Double Running Stiched Nested Rectangle die from Stamplorations. Finally I added some green and blue sequins to match the watercolour panel.
I'm also entering this for Less is more no Stamps, and the Butterfly Challenge #82 matching pairs of which I have two.

Love this butterfly die and how you've used it, Christine! The colors peeking through are a wonderful contrast!
Christine, this is beautiful. It make me want to see more of your background but still looks spectacular behind that gorgeous die. Time for me to jump on the Aliexpress bandwagon!
So lovely, Christine - glad I got to see it in real life as it is even nicer than it looks. Beautiful colours in your Oxide smooshing.
Gorgeous inlaid butterflies using your smooshed background, Christine. TFS your beauty my friend. Hugs
Such a gorgeous butterfly die ... and it looks amazing done in navy against the white. Very striking. And beautiful colours for the watercoloured background, Christine. x
