Another challenge I enjoyed had us doing ribbon weaving. You can see the information on the challenge
here. In this case, I just braided a short piece of ribbon. As I looked at it I thought, "That would make a great butterfly body!" So, that's what I did with it.
The background is a blank card from Hot Off the Press, and the butterfly wings are from one of their templates. I love the shiny blue paper I used - the yellow sets it off nicely. Nestabilities dies were used to cut and emboss the frame for the sentiment, and a simple punch was used to create the holes for the ribbon to weave through on the side.
Here's another card I did in a similar way. The outside border is drawn with a gel pen. I drew the straight line first with a ruler, then added the scallops by hand.

Really cool. I didn't try this technique, may have to give it a try. I really like the yellow and blues!
