OWH MWT - Color Challenge

This week's challenge at Stars and Stamps blog is color.  The colors are brown and turquoise.  This one was fun to do.  This is the finished card and the following shows a bit of how I got there.  It was made with some small note cards I got at the local craft store, 12 in a pack for $.50.
I cut the back off the card and trimmed the front so that it could be mounted on the back giving it the white frame. 
Then I cut the flap off the envelope, put a small dab of glue inside to keep it shut and mounted the butterfly onto the envelope.
The glitter heart is from a doller store sticker set that is 3D glitter swirls.  I cut the heart off the clear plastic sheet and put a heavy coat of Dimensional Magic on it to seal it.

The stamp is from the local craft store dollar bin and then I just added the butterflies.  Yay!  There it is!
