Gilded Lily Thank You Card

For this year I have been challenging to use up my scraps of paper.

The great thing is I was also able to use up some of my small jewel scraps.

The butterfly is cut and embossed from a Tim Holtz die. 
After I placed the "Thank You" on the card, I couldn't figure out how to place the butterfly without it looking like it was just thrown on there. So I cut a small tag from the collection to give it a mat. It really made this piece stand out!

Thanks for stopping by!

What it boils down to is fear of myself and fear of failure more so then the art supply itself. Basically what I’...
