I used the same colors as Mellissa Phillips in her tutorial video but on a larger scale, added a ribbon, and added text on the ribbon.  In addition, I do not have the gelatos so I used chalk instead.  If I were to redo this card I would soften the colors more or possibly add some vellum over top.

Butterfly

Experimenting with using various patterned paper together.  I think my balance is off on this one; moving the doily up further would help with the balance and possibly the addition of different color (i.e., stamp black body and antennae to the center of the butterfly body).  Critiques welcomed.
