Lovely CAS design Cheryl. I don't think it needs any other addition besides the punched texture and the pop of blue.

I love this. The white space is not the focal point its the beautiful butterfly and the die texture that catches your eye. I do not even see the white space. Great card.

Love your card. So great. Good job on the white space. Make your butterfly pop.

Rosemary said...

I'm so pleased you went out of your comfort zone, you've created a striking card! Love how the white space (with the punched pieces) is anything BUT plain. It does make the use of color and that gorgeous butterfly really stand out. Love that. A very elegant and classy clean and simple card.

Thank you for participating with us at Opus Gluei, it is nice to see your name pop up!
