I don't normally make a habit of purchasing new product for challenges, as I try to use stuff I already have on hand, but on a recent trip to Michaels last week, I found these wonderful butterflies by Recollections. They were on sale for 40% off and fit the colors perfectly this week, so I couldn't pass them up!
My sketch inspiration came from Get Sketchy #74, I did change my card size to 5-1/4" x 5-1/4". My three panels are all scraps of Core'dinations papers, embossed with the Texture Fades Damask Folder, then sanded. I added this sentiment from Stampotique.
