Butterflies

This pretty little card is 4 1/2"x4 1/2." I used a navy blue cardstock for the base. I then cut some patterned yellow cardstock, from the Lemon Flower Stack by DCWV, 1/8" smaller and adhered it on. The next navy blue square is 3 1/2"x3 1/2." I cut some tan cardstock 1/8" smaller and adhered them to the card base. I cut three strips of cardstock and trimmed them all with a scalloped scallop punch by EK Success. I used the navy blue, tan, and a turquoise patterned cardstock, which is from the Citrus Stack by DCWV, for my strips. I cut three navy blue butterflies from Tablescapes - Spring & Summer at 1" and three from the patterned turquoise. I adhered all the navy blue butterflies and one of the turquoise butterflies above the strips. I then used some pop-dots to adhere the second turquoise butterfly. I added some yellow and dark blue gems to the centers of the butterflies. I finished off the front of the card with the sentiment, which is from Fiskars and stamped in night sky ink by Tsukineko.
I also finished the inside of the card. I cut the patterned yellow cardstock at 3 5/8"x3 5/8," the navy blue at 3 1/4"x3 1/4," and the tan cardstock at 3 1/8"x3 1/8" and adhered them all down to the inside of the card. I then adhered the third turquoise butterfly on the lower right hand corner of those mats.
I made this for the following challenges:
