Just in time!

So I was perusing my dear friend Aimee Cretsinger's blog and I see that she found a new challenge blog, Black Tie Friday.  It looks like fun and it is their very first challenge, so I decided to play along.  Then I scrolled down and I see that the challenge ends in ONE HOUR!  Holy moly...I gotta get to work!

  
 
I have been wanting to use my lattice die for a long time and keep forgetting about it, so I pulled it out first, thinking it would be great with butterflies.
 
 
 
I liked the white on white with the colored butterflies but thought it needed something extra so I added the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch.  For the butterflies I put drops of reinker on a small stack of baby wipes and used that for my ink pad.  I love that multicolored effect, especially for butterflies and flowers!  The hardest part for me was the ribbon.  This was the only black ribbon I had. I must have tried 10 different things with it, but decided that I liked the way it looked like the sentiment was on the ribbon banner.  This was a really fun challenge.  I can't wait to play again next week!
