Butterfly in the Sky!

I had a great time creating this card. I only adhered the bottom of the vellum so as you hold the card the butterflies "flap" it is pretty fun. I really enjoyed this Mojo Monday Sketch this week!!! MOJO290

Oh Hello!

This is my card for the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC248 color challenge. The colors are some of my favorite. I am totally excited about this color challenge as I was dressing my daughter this morning I was thinking that the color combo on her outfit would be amazing on a card, I will post a picture of her in the outfit later and you will understand my excitement.

Happy Easter Color challenge


Today I participated in the Paper Players Color Challenge. I had a great time creating this card, I really wanted to use the butterfly and so I made a 5x7 size card this time.

Recipe:
Cardstock-Regal Rose, Lucky Limeade, Early Espresso, Pool Party, Very Vanilla
Ink-Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Early Espresso, Regal Rose
Stamps-Parlor Prints Background, En Francais Background, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Swallowtail
Markers- Raspberry Ripple, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette
Embellishments- Crumb Cake Seam binding Ribbon(Inked with Early Espresso), Vintage trinkets brads & Safety pin
Tools- Modern Label Punch, Paper Piercer, Paper Snips, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Stamping Sponge.

I inked the butterfly just on it's wings with the Regal Rose Ink, then I colored the body with the Early espresso ink and colored the highlighted parts of the wings with the Raspberry Ripple marker. Then I huffed on the stamp and placed it. After I got the image I wanted I took Pink Pirouette and colored in the rest of the wing, and Crumb Cake to color in the body, I felt like this gave it some dimension. I hope you enjoy! Below is the link to the Paper Players blog and an image of the color challenge. Be sure to check the blog for the other entries and leave comments!!
