Butterfly Blues

Today’s card share was inspired by a really different and challenging (I thought) sketch at the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge.

As you can see, there is a lot going on with this sketch, thus the challenge to incorporate all the elements.  Here is what I came up with….

Again, I used the Watercolor Wings stamp set as the focal point.  Since finally pulling this set off the shelf, I just cannot seem to get enough of it.  I stamped the wings in Pool Party and Lost Lagoon and the body in Early Expresso.  Then I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set on vellum in Tip Top Taupe and cut both images out using the Bold Butterfly Framelits.  I like the lacy effect the vellum layer gives it.

The lace is the Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace trim and the DSP is from two different collections.  The top is from the In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack and the bottom is from the 6 x 6 stack, Cherry on Top.  I used the Circle Collection Framelits to cut the mats for the butterfly.  The cardstock is Tip Top Taupe and Lost Lagoon.  The sentiment is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and is punched using the Scalloped Oval Punch.

The inside sentiment is from the Garden In Bloom stamp set.

After a lot of trial and error with this sketch, I think this card will satisfy it.  I hope it satisfies you, too!

Thanks for checking in today and please stop by again….soon.
