Fusion Card Challenge - Beautiful Butterflies!

Hi friends! Are you looking for a card challenge to play? A new one starts today at Fusion Card Challenge! You'll love this challenge because there are three ways to play.. you can play along with the sketch, be inspired by the photo, or FUSE them together and play with BOTH!
I tend to be driven by the photo inspiration. I'm smitten here with this dramatic butterfly in pretty blues and black! So striking! If you're not loving the photo that's ok because you can always play along with the sketch! 
I turned to the Pretty Pink Posh Beautiful Butterflies! I colored them with Copic markers and layered them over some big tropical leaves from the Hibiscus Stamp Set. 
To define the edges of the distress ink background I added a Tropical Frame die cut in white card stock. I added a sprinkle of Mermaid mix sequins for some extra sparkle and shine. 
I decided on three butterflies because there are three circles in the sketch, and because three always seems more pleasing to the eye. A simple sentiment was added from the Tropical Birds stamp set.
Now it's your turn! Now it's your turn! Are you ready to play? I wonder how you will interpret the photo! Maybe you need a little more inspiration? Check out designs from the rest of the team. Just click on their names below to jump to their blogs.
