Less is more - Off Centre

Hi there! The theme at Less is More this week is 'Off Centre', which means Mandi and Chrissie are
 ' looking for cards with little or no symmetry but perfect balance, which doesn't necessarily mean gems in all four corners, or any corners for that matter.'
I tried several different designs and finally decided on this one.
Both stamps are Elusive Images (Chocolate Baroque) and the butterfly has been coloured with promarkers.
Yesterday we spent a few hours walking in some less busy areas of Clumber park and saw quite a range of real butterflies. Photos courtesy of Megan (on my camera, because she forgot to take hers!)
 A small white and a peacock...
This Comma is looking rather  battered and tired, but I'm guessing it has been hibernating until very recently. You wouldn't normally see them until June.

It was a beautiful warm and sunny day, unlike today. I reached for my fleece this morning!
Thanks for all the lovely comments last week and can I say how great it is to be a part of the LIMette community! Thanks for looking!

    You've used some of my favourite stamps here, Sally. It's gorgeous. The butterfly is coloured beautifully, you must have taken inspiration from the ones you saw on your walk.
    Not sure I like this chilly weather!!
