Welcome
I am calling this a serendipity butterfly (card) as several things came together at once to make it possible.
I had seen a challenge to CASE a card, and I wanted to CASE this card, but did not know quite how I could 'do' it, until a strip of card with several gelatos blended across it came to light when I was 'sorting' a pile of stuff on my desk with a view to tidying it.

Needless to say it did not get tidied, rather it got used on this card ... I cut it three narrow strips off it, and had just enough width left to cut the butterfly out.

The strips of colour were offset, and a simple sentiment from a set of stamps I had just received...

and the card was complete.
I toyed with the idea of some paint splatters, but decided not to.

Delightful colors on this card- and great idea to add the butterfly and the sentiment in that great color. Beautiful and uplifting card!
What a wonderful CAS card, loaded with lots of pretty color & texture. It's very cheerful and will be a bright spot in the day of the recipient who receives this sentiment will feel so comforted. I like the way the butterfly colors tie in with the strips. Well done, Miss M. TFS & Hugs
