Hello!
I had a few minutes this weekend to play in my craft room! The boys enjoyed one of the last flying days of the season on Saturday so I took advantage of hanging out with my paper, stamps and ink!
I'm still working on filling an order of nature inspired cards and what doesn't scream nature more than butterflies?! I could make dozens of cards with butterflies!
I started with the Fusion card challenge sketch! It fit my butterflies perfectly! I decided to pair it with the colours from the Card Concept challenge (using the Clean and Simple style). I don't really use Halloween cards so I knew that instead of halloween I could do monarchs!
Papillon Potpourri is one of my favourite stamp sets! Those butterflies totally make me smile! I used my Score Board to create the lines on the bottom of the front white panel! I chose a sentiment from a PTI stamp set. I tried colouring the butterflies to start with but ended up having to just stamp them on some Pumpkin Pie cardstock! My colouring skills need some work!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, PTI (Sentiment)
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Elegant Butterfly Punch, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you have a fabulous day!
Jen!
Your butterflies are so striking against the white background! Very pretty. Thanks for joining us this week at The Card Concept :)
ReplyDeleteFabulously clean & simple! First off, I love the peek of black on each side of the butterfly panel - really, REALLY highlights those stunning butterflies! I think that the orange paper looks great (and I'm sure your coloring was just a nice too!). The five embossed lines above the sentiment - creative brilliance! Your card is fabulous and I'm so glad that you shared it with us at the Card Concept Challenge.
ReplyDeletePS - GREAT take on the Fusion sketch too!
Butterflies make everything better! Beautiful card!
