Happy Wednesday folks! I'm going to dive right in and show you my card!!
I've decided to enter my card today in the Allsorts Challenge Week 737. Sounds like an airplane, doesn't it? Well, my card is taking flight due to their mood board with a butterfly.
Why did I pick the colors I picked? Well, because of Color My Heart Color Dare: Dolor Dare #557!
AND, last but not least, because I used the retired Butterfly Brilliance Dies from SU, I am entering the Happy Little Stampers: ATG with Dies challenge.
My card base is Azure Afternoon Cardstock with a mat of Craft Consortium Ink Drops 12" x 12" patterned paper, which I got through Amazon. I ran it through my embossing machine with the Painted Textures 3D EF. I cut the butterfly out of retired Black Glimmer Paper.
I used the Double Oval Punch for the Black Glimmer mat and Azure Afternoon sentiment piece. The "Celebrate You" is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set.
For the inside...
See, I told you I was on a Washi Tape kick! I borrowed these tapes from one of our card group gals. I cut another Black Glimmer butterfly and used sentiments from Dainty Delight and Lighting the Way Stamp Sets. Isn't that Washi gorgeous?
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.
Those papers are stunning! Great way to highlight your butterflies!
