I have been having a lot of fun being on the Try Stampin' on Tuesday design team.  Every other week I look forward to the sketch challenge given to us to work on and  the optional theme.  

Sketch#261 

Optional theme is Nothing Floral.    I will admit to you that I felt a momentary panic when i saw those two words...Nothing Floral!  After I calmed down,   I decided to try and embrace the theme as well as the sketch.  Here is what I came up with.

I did it!  Nothing floral and I think I followed the sketch to a T!   I love my flower stamps but realized that there are so many other possibilities to choose from.   I kept the card very simple so the focus would be on the glimmery butterfly!

I did apply some Crystal Effects on the 1/4" circles of Silver Glimmer  Paper.  I wanted it to have a little more dimension.  The only drawback is that I had to wait for the Crystal Effects to dry before completing my card.
