Less is More week 12
After last week's excursion in to the dark realms of acetate I was relieved to read this week's Less is More challenge ... off centre ... now I can do this ... I am naturally off centre LOL!!!
I used a spare punched butterfly I had from a card I made yesterday, and punched sone out of some acetate to created a bit more depth. The sentiment is a Whiff of Joy one I have had for ages ... I stamped it in a matching ink as I didn't want it too harsh ... but maybe it is a little on the pale side. I doodled a little flight path for the butterfly and added some teeny pearls to its middle and the corners. Whilst off centre doesn't mean using the corners I love central white space, so I have gone for the symmetrical corner look.

Hi Cathy, you're very swift this fine morning!
I know you say that you love white space in the centre of your card, but it tends to leave me wondering where the focus of the card is, with all the elements tight in the corners.
It's great that you continued with the acetate theme from last week, in fact I did something similar myself this morning... acetate over another layer to make a butterfly!
You have chosen a super colour and I love your sentiment too.
Thanks for this charming submission.

I love the colour of your card, the butterfly is very sweet (and great use of acetate too). But it's quite symmetrical with the design at corners!! It is, however, a lovely card.
Great card and love the acetate wings...
