Gel Print Circles Butterfly

I wanted to make a card for the Butterfly Challenge at Less is More.  I chose this butterfly from my stash of ephemera ... and then I went shopping in my gel press print drawer for some prints that would complement the colors. 

I chose a purple bubble wrap print that had bits of the yellowy-golden color and a more solid pattern that pulled out more of the butterfly's golden hue.  It's so funny how changing the scale from the 12" piece of printed paper to the small die cut circle completely changes the look of the design ... I love the almost graffiti-like feel of the circles.

 

 

I used stitched circle dies to create a version of this week's Freshly Made Sketch. 

 

I found a long-lost stash of aged chipboard words for my sentiment (I really wish someone would make these again).  I really wanted to add a few enamel dots, gems or splatters, but decided to remember the theme that Less is More and let the white space shine.

 

 

I'm also joining the Allsorts Challenge where the theme is Butterflies or Bugs.
