Is there a soul among us who doesn't love the sight of a beautiful butterfly? That's our challenge at Double D this time around. Have a look at our gorgeous inspiration board:
So many colors to delight the eye!
The DDs offer a prize for a random winner, and the team votes on creative favorites.
I played off the blue and pink in the upper left corner of the board. My butterfly is an oldie by Impression Obsession. The die cuts the open scroll, but I managed to keep the inner parts together long enough to secure a solid background. It's cut from shimmery paper and brushed with inks.
What better place to alight than a rose garden? It's Tim Holtz Sizzix Roses 3D embossing folder, a gift from a dear local friend who knew I would love it. I'm using it for the first time here, brushed with inks and a butterfly-appropriate sentiment stamped in the corner.
Do stop by the Double D blog to enjoy all the team's butterflies, and then show us yours!
Take care, and have a wonderful day!

Gorgeous card Leslie. LOVE the ethereal look of your softly sponged background with your beautiful, highlighted roses. Your butterfly is stunning and looks very happy enjoying the sweet nectar from the flowers. xx
So beautiful. Butterflies are my favorite winged creatures. So delicate and colorful. Your design captures it so well.
Beautiful, love the pretty embossing for the background, the inking of it gives it a soft feel, and lets your beautiful butterfly shine! Love the blues for the butterfly and how you highlighted the corner for the sentiment, so sweet!

Absolutey gorgeous Leslie! Wow! The brushed background on the roses , so soft and dreamy and then the gorgeous butterfly! stunning! Fabulous take on the inspiration board!
Such a beautiful card! Love the soft colors. We used to have so many butterflies but then none. We were excited to see a monarch one a few times this week. Enjoy your weekend!
Your Card has such a dreamy look to it. On our trip, we have seen many gorgeous gardens here in Ireland in Scotland and that butterfly would fit in anyone of them.
Wow, this is just gorgeous. Love the beautiful colors you chose and the embossing.
Another stunning creation, Leslie! That butterfly is gorgeous and magical! Yes, who wouldn't want to rest on those beautiful roses. Great embossed background. The colors on this card are so amazing!
This beautiful card takes my breath away, Leslie! The soft colors give a light airy, magical feel. How I love the detailed butterfly combined with the embossing. Simply exquisite!
Oh wow, this is just stunning. That butterfly die is spectacular, and the way you have done the background is a perfect backdrop to show it off. I adore this on so many levels.
This is gorgeous, Leslie! The color of the butterfly is my absolute favorite, and I have absolutely NO clothes in that shade! The 3-D folder is amazing the way you've applied that soft color. All in all, it's another winner!
