Okay…so my sample is an hour late and it’s not quite like the challenge sketch. I just can’t stick to samples. I did keep the three images and the ribbon. I stretched the card out and made the horizontal layer bigger though.
I started with a 6″ square of textured Basic Gray cardstock folded in half.
The designer paper measures 2″ x 6″ and is from the occasional mini catalog. The paper pack is called Walk in the Park.
I layered the designer paper on Shimmery White cardstock. The bottom of that layer was punched with the Eyelet Border Punch. Kiwi Satin Ribbon was tied around the layers before they were attached to the card base.
I stamped the frame from Great Friend three times in Basic Gray on Basic Gray cardstock and cut those out. Each frame was layered first with a 1 3/8″ Kiwi Kiss cardstock circle, then with a 1 1/4″ Shimmery White circle. I stamped directly on two of those circle with stamps from Great Friend. One the third one I adhered a butterfly stamped in Baja Breeze ink and cut out. I inked the butterfly with Kiwi Kiss, stamped it off once, sponged the edges with Baja Breeze ink and a sponge dauber and stamped it again on Shimmery White. It was cut out and layered on top of the first butterfly with dimensionals.
To finish it off I added some Ice Rhinestone Brads.
Sorry I am so short. I am an hour late for my walk and it’s getting warm outside.

The sketch is really just a starting point for creativity, isn’t it? (That’s what I keep telling myself when my own samples are different from the sketches, anyway…) ;D
