Let me give you a little insight into my creative process.
I start with something I really like--in this case it was the butterfly thinlit dies. I then find a paper or an accessory to compliment it. This paper comes from the occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration, as well as the embellishments.
Just start putting things on the page and rearranging them. Start simple to get a basic idea of what you want and where you want it. You can see I chose to do a patterned background, a butterfly as the focal point, and a sentiment.
Then do it a second time but elaborate--use more layers, more accessories, more patterns, more wow. I just keep adding things until I feel that if I added anything else I might ruin the card. I don't usually show anyone the first version (lucky you!) and I almost always like the second card better...
...wouldn't you agree?
