Greenhouse Butterfly

How about a little Stampin' Up! Only card?  It's been a long time since I've done that.

I ordered this gorgeous butterfly (All A Flutter) from the Summer Mini catalogue, and then got so busy that I didn't have time to use it.  I really like detailed butterflies that you can color.

I used this weeks fun Mojo Sketch - round or square - and chose the square flipped

I'll be honest....I'm still not sure about this card.  I think it's because it combines so many colors.  I don't have the new Daffodil yellow from SU yet so I had to substitute with Saffron, and I never like it when things aren't perfectly matched!  I used a Hostess set from last year, Kind and Caring Thoughts for the greenery, but once I stamped it in Pear Pizzazz and then paired it with the finely detailed butterfly, it just didn't look right, so I came back and added some detail with my fine tip on my Chocolate Chip marker and I think that helped.  

All stamped on watercolor paper with the butterfly popped up.  I added a wash of Baja for the sky and then stamped the leaves.

See you again tomorrow (Wednesday morning) with something really fun!
