Raindrop Echo Designs: Flowers Kissed by Butterflies

I like how this card turned out. This also took some time to make, but it was fun. I wasn't too sure if it was going to work out or whether I should use vellum or acetate, but I chose to go with vellum to make the frame a bit more opaque. Hope you like it!

This card is for a few challenges:

CPS Card Sketches - for CPS117 - I turned the sketch CCW 90 degrees and elongated it. I hope you still see the sketch!!
Crafty Creations - for Challenge #17 Butterflies - I'm interested in trying out for the Guest Designer spot. Thanks for the chance!
Rubbernecker Stamps - for Wacky Wednesday #13 Frames
Color Throwndown - for Color Throwndown #44 - It's hard to see the Elegant eggplant, but 2 of the flowers underneath the vellum are eggplant-colored
Daring Cardmakers - for Take 5 challenge - I have 5 butterflies; two are inside the frame :)
Stampin' B's Design Team - for Challenge #8 Flowers

Those little butterflies are so sweet and I think you definitely made the right decision to go with the Vellum rather than acetate. It gives a very delicate feel to the whole card.
