I was so excited to see the color combination in this week’s PPA challenge. It is one of my favorite combinations. Thank you Shawn de Oliveira for putting this together ~
And here is my card~
I went all collage-y on this one. Not my usual style, but it was fun! I used one stamp set – Butterfly Basics – with 2 sets of butterfly thinlits.
I stamped the sentiment full strength Night of Navy, then stamped off the ferns and honeycomb to soften the color using Sahara Sand and Mint Macaron .
The base and inner layer is Night of Navy. The Mint layer is from the In Colors DSP Stack. I swirled some Gold Thread behind the butterflies and tied a bow with 2 strands of Linen Thread for the front.
I left it pretty simple on the inside, as I thought the front had plenty going on ~
I added some fern fronds and a couple of butterflies stamped from the same set on the envelope ~
I love the color challenges because everyone comes up with completely different ideas. See the other entries by clicking HERE. You can see the list of supplies that I used on this card at the end of the post. A quick click on the product picture will take you right to my online store site, if you are in a shopping mood! And who isn’t, with the new catalog just out yesterday!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time,
Happy Stamping!
