3 Girl Jam - Butterflies and Bows

I am very excited to be entering into this challenge. So
here is my card.

I love this challenge and I love butterflies. For this  card I  have

used a 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" card. I opened it out and then scored each side mid

way and folded the scored sides in. I used a piece of my Citris Stack

DCWM paper for the front. Then I cute a Solid blue 4 x 4 square for the 

center and again used a piece of my Citris paper. I placed a  round

doily on top and cute my Large Sizzix Butterfly out of a scrap piece

paper from my stash,

As you can see this is a gate fold card. I have never

made this type of a card, but I must say,I love this style. 

For the center of my

butterfly I place a white silk flower topped with a white

bow. I used a little black bling swirl to add more texture to

this card. For my sentiment I used my Martha Stewart flower

punch and my Creative memories circle punch and layered 

the two.I used my sending smiles stamp to finish it off.

I took this side view to give you alittle better look at 

the layers of this card. and now for the inside.

I like to add a little something to the inside. I think

it ties it all together. Here's one more look at my

finished card.
