My kind of bouquet

I've been struggling with lack of mojo and inspiration, but I'm relatively happy with this card. I used a digi stamp from I Heart Stamps, colored with pencils.  All the papers are snippets (I'm not thrilled with the yellow dp on the bottom, but nothing I tried looked perfect.)  The putterflies are also a very lightly patterned paper.
