Added to the pattern/colour inspiration from RIC, was the 'theme' at City Crafters' Challenge Blog #228~Butterflies (gee, what a surprise *grin*)
and since I used patterned paper, I'm also heading to Virginia's View #7~Pattern Paper
Here's my card...
and off I go, dashing through the snow...It's melting, but still....
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!

Carol this is so beautiful, I love all the stitching and the yummy patterned paper.Especially the black houndstooth! I was thinking of you and the snow over the past week as DH has been keeping me updated on the Edmonton weather! Eeek, not ready for snow. It is cold here I actually put the furnace on a bit this morning!
Lordy, I can see you dashing through the snow to get your cards posted to the challenges!! Glad to hear the snow is melting at least. lol I love that beautiful inspiration outfit and that gorgeous butterfly! Your take on these inspirations is amazing my friend, I love, love your card!!! The houndstooth pattern and the beautiful pattern paper under the butterfly cut out is amazing. Another card that is wowing me once again. You amaze me with your talent my friend, you wanna rub elbows with me?!! lol Hugs, Brenda
Love that flowered butterfly! Wonderfully done :)
I'm so glad I checked to see if I missed anything...this is absolutely darling, Carol! Your inlaid butterfly is so pretty with these beautiful papers, and I love the stitched border and houndstooth frame! You did a great job combining these challenges!
This is so remarkable - so close to the runway challenge!! I have seen that challenge and thought how hard it must be!! But you, my dear, have nailed it!! What a delight to see you use the other part of the die from all those butterflies!! I love the patterned paper behind - the butterfly is just gorgeous!! The houndstooth paper is amazing and I love the stitched frame!! You are just so good with butterflies!! Don't ever change!! Stay cool!! Hugs! Taunya
Yay for such a ping which sees you create beauties like this card. I LOVE the houndstooth background and the pop of colour with the butterfly. Super cute. Another Carol masterpiece!
Carol, this is amazing ... what a ping ... and how perfect for the RIC inspiration ... love the drama of it, so beautifully paired with the pretty butterfly! Hugs, Anita :)

absolutely Perfect!
Such a great take on the inspiration photo! I love the patterned paper behind the butterfly die cut! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Runway Inspired Challenge!
ACK!! I LOVE this!! So absolutely filled with cuteness! The butterfly with the patterned paper behind it is marvelous!! Must do this myself!! What is this that I read about snow?? We have just finally cooled down out of the 90's and you're having snow?? Why can't I be a Canadian???? haha!
This is just too darn cute!!!! Love your choice of patterned paper too, and the gingham and sweet posies, such a wonderful combination. You are just amazing. And for the snow, please send some my way...I am tired of the heat and think snow would be the perfect solution for out drought. Enjoy your weekend.
Well, my jaw was still on the floor from the last of your cards I looked at, so I just let it stay there. How in the world can you be soooooo good at combining patterned papers? Whenever I try, I feel like my three year old self, with no sense of color or patterned taste, has emerged and is gleefully mixing stuff together that really cannot be shared with the world. You on the other hand … *sigh*
Love the combination of papers you have used here, lovely! Cx
What a beautiful card!! Such a stunning butterfly!! Thanks so much for playing along at CCCB!!
