Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I used some patterned paper!
Those of you that visit often know that I rarely use patterned paper.
Oh, I buy it. But it's so hard for me to cut into it. This was a strip left over
from a previous project. The only cutting required was a bit off the bottom.
No heart palpitations or breath holding required!
I used Jen T.'s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #733
This is a great sketch to use those leftover strips of paper!
Thanks Jen, for challenging me out of my comfort zone.

It is a great sketch for using patterned paper and yours is bold and beautiful, Bonnie. The butterfly found a happy place to land.

It's gorgeous. x
I can see why you didn't want to cut it but it is perfect with this butterfly. It made a beautiful card. Now you can cut another end off and make another beautiful card. It just keeps giving!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! This is one GORGEOUS card Bonnie!! Like you, I buy dsp but rarely use it, but it sure does fit with your beautiful butterfly and that awesome scripty ef! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I agree....WOW fabulous choices you made from the embossing to the coloring, the beautiful paper to the silvery body. STUNNING>
Wow, that's some gorgeous paper! You know I'm an addict. I have to tell myself it looks better on a card than it does sitting in a dark closet, yet I still have way more than I can use. The butterfly is amazing and such a good match that it appears to have fluttered right out of the paper!
That's beautiful patterned paper! Love how you used it with the text embossed background and the blue butterfly. I have stopped buying patterned paper as I so rarely use it. It's not that hard to cut into it, but it's just that my style has changed. Though if it's particularly beautiful paper, it's hard to cut into as I worry about using it all up!
Ooh, you should use patterned paper more often, Bonnie! That strip is the perfect landing for your gorgeous butterfly! It was meant to be. Thanks so much for joining Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Stunning! I completely agree with you that this card has a very dreamy look. I have a lot of patterned papers, but like you, I'm afraid to cut them because I feel like I'll ruin them, and they look best in their original state. You used this paper perfectly; the card looks amazing. I love how you embossed the card base in EF, which provides a beautiful backdrop for this gorgeous butterfly.
hugs,
