Aqua Swallowtail Butterfly card

By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) I am still coldy, getting fed up with it I can tell you! Thank you so much for all your support and get well wishes, they really do help to cheer up my day and mean an awful lot to me :-)
Here I am with something a little different for me. I bought the limited edition Peacocks Feathers distress ink pad which were perfect with my old stash of papers by Papermania-the Capsule Collection Aqua set. I stamped my butterfly then cut with an oval nestie. I then coloured with the ink. I mounted this on a panel of paper which I mounted on Coredinations card. I covered my card with a base paper, then made a border made of two other papers in the middle. I then placed the focal panel in the middle and used Polka dot ribbon to embellish.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Fussy and Fancy: Anything Goes
Vintage Elusions: Add some Lace/Anything Goes
Inspire Me Fridays: Anything Goes
The Stamp Man: Butterflies, Birds or Bees
The Cupboard Trilogy: Things with Wings
Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes
Crafty Bloggers Network: Anything Goes
Eureka Stamps: Things with Wings
Challenges4Everybody: Anything Goes
Stampin Sisters In Christ: Peace through your style (Butterflies)

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
