Zen

I just wasn't sure I would ever use this side of the DP from the Botanical Blooms by SU
The reverse side is ferns and I loved that and have used it frequently. When I saw this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches,
It  just seemed to be peaceful, calm, and zen like. Maybe that is because I was thinking of a friend who needed some calm and peace in her life. 
So I pulled out this DP. The die cut flowers are Memory Box. The butterflies are an SU punch. There is a touch of blue in the flowers on the paper so I did the butterflies in a blue scrap. 
The sentiment is an old stamp I found years ago at a yard sale. It fit perfectly in the small oval die. 
To keep with the minimalist feel, I just punched out a blue dot to use instead of ribbon.
Here is the inside with some flowers from SU Perfect Petals
