Rain Drops On The Roses

I know today is Sunday, but this is actually my Monday post. I wanted to enter this card in a couple of challenges that end today, so...

This is another fantastic image from Peggy Loves Vintage. These are so great for when you don't have a lot of time, don't feel like coloring or even feel you have dropped your mojo for the day. OR...Just because they are so pretty, lol

I used some crystal effects to create raindrops on the flower petals. I toyed with the idea of adding some to the leaves, since in real life they would have some too. My final thought was that it would be to much. What do you think? Would it be better to add the drops to the leaves also next time?

I decided to add one of my hand made butterflies on here. The color of the ones I have already made matched the card perfectly. You can see a tutorial for how to make these pretty but very simple butterflies in my post HERE. I think it added just the right amount of dimension to the card front.

For the inside I did not use any embellishments other than the ribbon. For the corners, I just cut one flower off the ribbon for each corner and adhered with glue dots. Again, I did not add a sentiment since I don't really know what this card will be used for.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
