Hello friends!! Popping in with a card that I managed to put together for a few challenges. It has been tough (again) lately to find the time and the energy to create. I am so ready for the cold, wind and rain to be gone and for some nice warm weather to show up!! Initially I was just going to enter this into the current Color Throwdown challenge, as well as the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge, but I think I will also enter this in the current Less is More challenge to use texture. My card isn't super CAS, but I hopefully it will pass muster with the ladies at LIM! I die cut the solid butterfly and then stamped it with coordinating images from the SU! set Watercolor Wings using Cherry Cobbler ink. The second butterfly was die cut from light grey cardstock and then adhered to the first butterfly. I added in the texture by coloring some embossing paste using SU!'s Smoky Slate and then applying it to my card using a Memory Box stencil called Chic Chevrons. A strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock was punched on one side with a scalloped border punch and adhered to the panel with the texture paste. Added the butterfly and a sentiment from Altenew's Label Love and I was done. Pretty simple, but it took me the better part of a day to complete! Wow...I am sure getting slow at card making, lol!!
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS fog, white, SU! Cherry Cobbler; Stamps: SU! Watercolor Wings, Altenew Label Love; Inks: SU! Smoky Slate, Cherry Cobbler, SU! border punch, Memory Box stencil; SU! butterfly dies; embossing paste

The coloured paste creates a great background for the gorgeous butterfly. This is a lovely colour combo too!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I was wondering how you got the splash of grey on there, so cool that the PASTE is grey leaving the white chevrons, love it!! The layered butterfly is fabulous :)
