Hello friends!! Popping in with a card for a couple of challenges: Less is More and ColourQ. When I started this card I was only going to post it to ColourQ, but when I finished it I realized that it would work for Less is More current theme of "up, up and away" as butterflies fly away don't they? The ColourQ challenge this week is black, grey, white and a pop of color. Initially I was going to use bright pink as my pop of color, but then took a look at the ColourQ gallery and decided to use a bright spring green instead. The stamps I used are from the Stampin Up! set Butterfly Basics. I love this set for the simple reason that it is full of stamps that allow me to do what I like best: collage stamping. I didn't do any collage stamping on this card... just kept things really simple. Stamped the main floral image using Memento London Fog. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. The little butterflies were stamped in Memento Pear Tart, trimmed out and adhered. Some bright green baker's twine was added at the bottom and bright green enamel dots were added to the butterflies bodies. I mounted the panel on my favorite grey cardstock: Simon Says Stamp Fog. I love how the soft grey makes colors just pop! A nice, simple "old school" style stamped card... my favorite! ETA: At the suggestion of Sarah I'm linking this up with the current Uniko Studio challenge: Things with Wings.
Thanks so much for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections white, SSS Fog; Stamps: Stampin Up!; Inks: Memento; Enamel Dots: My Mind's Eye
