IQCG - Beautiful like a butterfly

Hello dear Quillers,

I have a quilled card today to inspire you to join us in this month's challenge , where we want you to incorporate a quilled butterfly.

I made my butterfly free hand and then did some experiment in the design with blues and white. I have liked this style of quilling that I have been seeing on Instagram and though it looks nice, it is not as neat as I'd like it to be, I must practice more. I must also confess that getting the symmetrical butterfly wings is very difficult till you have a sketch/print of a butterfly. So I thought of a design where it doesn't have to be a very symmetric design. I cut a 180 gsm strip for the outer border of my image and then used 3mm strips for the inside. I used a stencil by Uniko Ltd for my background and a sentiment by Mudra Craft stamps.

I hope you are inspired to get your paper strips out. Following are the Challenge Rules:
