Butterfly Congratulations

For this card I really wanted to play some more with the Vellum Butterflies and I knew I wanted to use some yellows because this card is going to celebrate a friend’s graduation from St. Leo University and gold is one of their colors. The new Bumble Bee In-Color is very pretty and the Bumble Bee Gingham Ribbon is adorable. Both are perfect for this card. I’m very pleased with how it came out.
