Hello! I was tested by the recent challenge at Mrs. A's Butterflies.... her guest selected A for the challenge and we were asked to use an Arch on our butterfly cards and I had no idea what to use for my arch. Then the light came on and I thought I should use a gate with an arch leading into a garden. I pulled out Our Daily Bread Gilded Gate die and a frame die from Spellbinders Card Creator and used white glossy paper to build my gate with an arch. I only used the top part of the frame and attached with the gate. I used a pattern paper from ODB Shabby Rose Collection Paper Pad to create the garden filled with roses and butterflies. I added green vines cut with Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and Prima Pink Roses with layered butterflies punched from pattern papers and pink CS. I decided to not use a sentiment on the front but used that on the inside (shown below) of the card finished with more of the pattern papers and a sentiment from Repeat Impressions.

Challenges:
Butterfly Challenge: #37 Butterflies and letter A for Arches
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge: Use pattern paper on your card

Have a great day! I love reading your comments.
