Butterflies in a Jar Mother's Day Card

This week's Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger was a watercolor butterfly print dress.  While butterflies are all but a gold standard in paper crafting, I was intimidated by the watercolor as I lack a certain ability with water and ink.  Nevertheless, I was able to find some fantastic components to make it work. 


As I composed this card, I thought it would be perfect for Mother's Day.  The watercolor print in the jar (Dear Lizzy Neapolitan) was just perfect for this challenge.  I love using these jars as specimen jars!  I added the gold embossed butterflies (DCWV Coral Couture).  I also used coral hued cardstock and embellishments so the card would have a monochromatic feel.  I added a bit of sass by adding a metallic gold panel behind the coral damask print and heat embossing the sentiment in metallic gold.

There is also an Anything Goes challenge over at Ribbon Carousel Challenge blog.  There is still time for you to throw your crafty hat in the ring!

Happy day to you!
