All About The Dies - IO challenge

I'm doing something a little different for this Impression Obsession challenge. I decided to take an online class about using patterned paper and it really was mostly all CAS designers doing the videos. I don't think I have a style, but I know that it isn't CAS. Strangely, I think that's the hardest of all. Anytime I try, it just looks totally unfinished. I admire those that do it well.
So this card was done for the class, and is about as CAS as I can get. I used my new IO Butterfly dies ( DIE046-A) and my new ( first time trying it) Cloud Cover -A-Card IO stamp (CC091). I love this stamp!


The vellum envelope I made myself and embossed, and the sentiment was printed using the Matisse font off the computer. Some of the butterflys have clear rock candy stickles, and some are layered. I can't keep it too simple !
There is a $25.00 gift certificate prize to a random entry and here's where to get the rules and add your entry : http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/03/its-all-about-the-dies-day-3-and-our-new-challenge.html

    The Cloud CAC and the Butterfly dies make perfect partners on this card. Love the colorful butterflies taking flight out of the envelope too, it's a fun idea.
