All occasion card with a layered collage butterfly, embossed vellum and a floral decorative paper

Another card to add to the stack I am amalgamating for my friend.  I started with a light blue card, added a coordinating floral background, and then a piece of embossed vellum.  For my focal element I chose a butterfly I stamped a few days ago while I was creating another set of cards which coordinated nicely.  After fussy cutting it I distressed the edges.  I found a scrap of green cardstock that worked well and trimmed a piece with a little extra room to the right hand side.  I punched the edge with a scallopy border punch and then embossed a line with my score tool.  After layering them I mounted this butterfly element to my card using 3D foam tape.  It is a message that we all can find comfort in as we face the challenges in our lives.
