There is a new theme at the Butterfly Challenge.
(Harebell ranges from pale blue through to a brighter blue to almost purple)
Here is my inspiration for you.
On the first card I have die cut three circles (from blue card) in increasing sizes and then drawn round the outside edge of the dies to make a thin ring which I then hand cut for each circle. The design paper is a freebie paper 'Simply British' from Simply Homemade magazine. I have adhered this to a blank scalloped card base . The circle hoops have been glued at the base of the card and then butterflies in 3 different sizes have been attached . I used 2 of the sizes from 'Cascadia Butterfly Trio' by Memory Box. and the tiny butterflies are a Tonic studios punch I used blue and yellow gems from my stash for the butterfly bodies. The sentiment and die cut label were also from my stash.

For the second card I have used a pink card base and attached the design paper which again is a freebie from a magazine. The image is by Hunkydory from their 'Little Book of Butterflies'. I used the same method as above to make a circle hoop (from blue card stock and cut the image down to fit behind. Before I attached I ran a line of glue around the edge and dipped in glamour dust which I also used on the 3 butterflies but the camera has not picked the lovely shimmer that is there IRL. The wooden love sentiment is also in silver sparkle but again is not showing up.
Hope these cards help to give you some ideas.
