The butterflies were stamped in Pool Party ink. At this point I stamped a small sentiment directly onto the panel ……… and it wasn’t straight……. Aaaahhh. I glued the stamped panel to the Gorgeous Grape layer.

I stamped a different, slightly larger sentiment onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it down. It didn’t quite cover the squint sentiment so I added a layer of Pool Party card before adding it to the card front.
