The layout of this sketch gave me some grief so I flipped it horizantally in order to use this fabulous damask image from Stampin' Ups' Bliss Sale-A-Bration set, which sadly hasn't seen any ink yet!I kept the tones neutral and used lots of white space in order to show off this fabulous damask image and also managed to get another bit of Costco DP to bite the dust along the way - yeah! Love the tiny script on the butterfly and the elegant feel to this card. It's going to be a fun set to use again :)
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.
