On my mind

As I continue to make cards for friends and family at this time, I am finding it hard to think of what I want to do, so I have made myself go to my basket of stashed goodies to see if I get any inspiration there, and this card just seemed to flow together.  I had stamped these roses and leaves awhile back and just wasn't sure I was happy with them so into my stash folder they went.  The background is one that I had done in my stamp group awhile ago and never used.  The vellum piece was in there too, too small to put back with the vellum so I grabbed that and decided to die cut that piece, then I started arranging the flowers and leaves, looked back and thought this might just work, added them to the background and all was good.  I almost wish now I would have left off the butterfly stickers seeing it on this photo but before I sent it I thought it looked good.

i think the butterflies look good. maybe too purple in the first picture, but the second picture shows their true color (i think) and in the second picture, i think they look great!!! plus, they look great with the dots!!

i like the sentiment, and how the color of that matches the leaves...this one is a winner!!!

Wow, this is pretty, Connie, and I sure don't see anything wrong with the butterflies! I have so many things I haven't used yet, I could just grab and go, but it's still hard to decide sometimes. I love what you ended up with!
