Here's Cecile's wonderful Sketch:
And the Cue word:
All I have left, is to show you my card! This one honors the 36 Monarch butterflies Tom and I 'bloomed' this season - though this little one is a butterfly of a different, glitter-y color!
White space with embossing is one my favorites!
#MFT Blissful Butterflies, and dies; Teresa Collins' 8.5x12 embossing folder.
Just for fun, and to experiment a bit with my newest
Ellen Hutson Design by Julie Ebersole: Mondo Peony - in purple ... they're real, I googled them!

I have one more card, but I'm saving it for tomorrow ... there was a bit of monkey business going on in my craft-room this weekend!
