I had a card made to put up last night. I made it during my class, but just did not feel good about it. I could not figure out what it needed, but it just wasn't "done". It is amazing wat a good night's sleep can do, because I added the finishing touches this morning.
While, I still do not think it is the best card I ever made, I really like this color combo, close to cocoa, old olive and white.
Everything was done last night, but I felt the need for some butterflies this morning and it sure helps to fill the white space. Now, white space is not all that bad, but I just felt something lacking. I also added dazzling diamonds to my flowers, and it real life, it is rather pretty for a green and brown card ... lol.
The sentiment is a freebie from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, Vintage Labels, as well as the punch. The DSP is from the Sweet Pea pack, and the image is from Friends 24-7. I used my Frost White Shimmer Paint for the butterflies again and did you know that you can still order it ?!? Use these item codes to get yours HERE :

You're right, without the butterflies, it would be kinda blah! Love the colors - I like the browns & greens together!
