The big circle reminded me of a doily so that is what I went with and the rest fell into place. However, it needed a little zip so I added the red butterfly.
The sentiment is the Psalm 119:105 Plain Jane and the butterfly is my favorite Flutterby die.
After I had completed and photographed the card I realized I did a bit of a goof in that I didn't use two different papers for my background - my bad! No time to make a new card so I improvised by adding a tiny strip of dark brown to at least split the panels. Note to self: double check the sketch when you are in a hurry to get one done to make sure you are following it {bashful grin}.
Head on over to the Viva La Verve blog to get a ton of inspiration and to find out whose cards I have spotlighted this week.

Marisa this is AWESOME!!! Love all the design elements, pops of black and the colours are glorious!! Hugs to you!! :)
I got that butterfly because of you and I have just realized that I have never used it! I love the natural blues, greens and patterns topped with the vividly colored butterfly.
Ever so pretty, Marisa, and you know already that the butterfly is the highlight for me! Love it!
