Wonderful Marvelous You

Here's my card for this month's final Viva la Verve sketch.  I stretched the square sketch to a standard A2 card size for my version.

I started out by coloring a butterfly from Verve's Blue Skies stamp set.  The image was cut with the matching All Aflutter die.  I used foam tape to adhere it to a pale gray pierced square die cut stamped with the "wonderful marvelous you" sentiment from the Wonderful Marvelous set. 

To make a background for the sentiment, I arranged four yellow circles on a yellow dotted patterned paper panel. I topped the circles with a single, larger red die cut circle, then added the sentiment panel on top.  I accented the butterfly with a pretty crystal flight trail, then set the finished panel on a yellow card base.
