A Rainbow of Butterflies

I know it's usually called a flight of butterflies but I reckon a rainbow of butterflies is more descriptive. I like the transformation idea here too.

I made the rainbow using watered down distress inks on card, then die cut.  The card is really a dark blue but looks almost black in the photo (maybe because its artificial light?).

Butterfly die:
Border punch: Fiskars
Ribbon, gems

    Really pretty. You need to put this on Simon Says Monday challenge. It's rainbows for the week. This would fit perfectly.

    The dark background makes the butterfly colours shine and the movement in the card is lovely. Thanks for joining Time Out
