I first had a blue ribbon I hated but brought out the blue center of the butterfly. I disliked it so much (and couldn't remove it) that I added my brown, crinkled ribbon over it, so now just a bit of the blue peeks through.
This is not my favorite card and I don't think I'll enter it into any challenges. Did you ever have one of those cards you would just like to do over but there is no time?

Bonnie Stamping with Klass ( Bonnie's blog is a good bit older than mine but I think she should have this award just the same.) I don't think she will mind being spotlighted.
All of these girls are such wonderful cardmakers that I have the good fortune of knowing through this wonderful craft of ours.

Benzi your sparkly butterfly looks amazing. The colors match perfectly with the paper you chose. Always like to give the butterflies dimension so that they appear to have lighted upon the card. Very pretty!

Wow! Thank you Benzi! I am honored! I like your butterfly! I had the same problem with some ribbon last night. I'm stuck with the last try cause it's stuck down!
Your butterfly is blinged up perfectly, and I love the antennae you created with wire! I kinda like that brilliant blue ribbon, but the crinkled brown looks just as nice layered on top! Have a nice, dry Thursday! It's monsoon here in PA today:)
What a beautiful butterfly, Brenda. All dressed up and ready to go!
Benzi, this is such a glamorous butterfly! And congrats on your award for your blog. You certainly deserve it; you're always doing new challenges, coming up with fresh, different designs, and leaving such wonderful comments on others' blogs. :)
Oooh what a fab butterfly Brenda! And yes, I have LOADS of cards that after hours of creation I still just think "hmmmmmmmm"!
This is so colorful, Benzi!! I know how you feel about having a card that you wish you had time to do over. Regardless of how you feel about it, I think this is perfectly lovely and so colorful. So even if you don't like it, I do!!!
