Butterflies Anniversary with Herringbone Pattern

Hello, everyone.  This is my third post today but I haven't been spending much time online so I must seize the opportunity when it arises.  I woke up at 3 a.m. so here I am.  

I was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge, where the letter is H, and the 6 elements to choose from are herringbone card, hemp, heat wave, hansa yellow, hazel, and butterfly.  I went with herringbone card, hazel, and butterflies.  I've been wanting to try the herringbone pattern for a while and I'm glad I did - it's a great way to use scraps!  

The patterned paper was part of a digital set that got messed up when my ink cartridge was running out - the colours are not right and they do not coordinate with the rest of the set.  I almost binned them but then decided to save them for a card like this.  Four pages were affected so I cut them into strips and made my herringbone pattern (see Mrs. A's instructions/tutorial here.)

Products used:
Clear stamps:  STAMPlorations Beautiful You (silhouette flowers), STAMPlorations Grateful Flutters (butterflies), Hero Arts Everyday Sayings (sentiment)

Dies:  STAMPlorations Flutter Zen 2

Patterned paper:  Crate Paper Chasing Dreams misprints (ink cartridge ran out)

Other:  Black gems

On my herringbone pattern I stamped butterflies, silhouette flowers, and an anniversary sentiment.  I die-cut the butterflies, layered, and adhered.  I layered the herringbone panel on a hazel panel and then a magenta panel. To finish the card I added some black gems to the butterfly bodies.

I would also like to join the following 9 challenges, for a total of 10:
