Butterfly Birthday Cards with CAS Colours and Sketch Challenge #581 and Just Add Ink Things with Wings

The sketch at CAS Colours and Sketch #581 appealed to me along with Just Add Ink's focus of Things with Wings so I made 2 cards featuring Brushed paper (old Close to my Heart) and new butterflies from Simon Says Stamp (Whirl Butterflies in solid yellow pearlescent card stock) and Stampin' Up (Beautiful Butterflies cut from patterned paper and holographic layer).  I can't decide which I like better!
