Hey friends!! We are having some seriously nice weather here in the PNW! I'm popping in with a card that I made for some challenges. I recently got the new Reverse Confetti stamp set Butterfly Dreams and the matching dies so I teamed it up with the RC Color Me Happy set to create my card. The colors are from the current Color Throwdown and the layout is based on the current one from CAS(E) this Sketch. I'm also going to post this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes. I know there are already a ton of entries... but you can't win unless you play, lol! Super simple design. I stamped the brushstroke image in SU!'s Kiwi Kiss on a white panel that I die cut using my AJVD Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop die and then added some Ranger Diamond Stickles for some sparkle. The bottom half was partially embossed using my Swiss Dot folder. Die cut the butterfly and then stamped it using SU!''s Take with Teal ink. Some Diamond Stickles was also brushed on the butterfly and once dry I attached it to the a SSS Fog cardstock base. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!! Decided to add this to the current Word Art Wednesday challenge, as well.
Supplies: Cardstock: white, SSS fog; Stamps: Reverse Confetti; Dies: Reverse Confetti and A Jillian Vance Design; Inks: Stampin Up!; Ranger Diamond Stickles

Beautiful use of that not so easy color combo, Rosemary! Very eye-appealing card! PS--this is such amazing weather, for sure!
Awesome CAS design!! Each element is spot on, Rosemary! So glad that you join the fun over Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes”” Challenge!
Such a lovely CAS design, Rosemary! Love the way you used the colors. The weather here in the east is warming, but we actually had snow flurries this morning. Crazy!
I love those butterflies every time I see them used! This is terrific Rosemary!
Great CAS design! Love the bit of sparkle from the Stickles. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
Lovely bold colour combo Rosie you can't go wrong with a butterfly! Commenting is a bit hit and miss at the moment but I know you'll understand.

WOW, this is striking, Rosemary.
I love how you used the pretty colors & the Swiss Dot folder.
Have a lovely week.
What a great idea to pair those stamp sets together! I love your beautiful take on the sketch!
Forgive me for my long absence...you must have thought I abandoned you! I really love this card, Rosemary! Your butterfly is so pretty, and the brushstrokes add so much texture and interest to your CAS design! Great job combining challenges on this fabulous card, too!
Oooh, pretty, Rosemary ... what a wonderful sense of movement from the dimensional butterfly wings and that swooshy brushstroke in the background! Hugs, Anita :)
I love the sweet simplicity of this card, Rosemary. You matched the sketch perfectly, and the butterfly is the perfect soft touch. Thanks so much for stopping by to share your talents with us. It means so much to me that you play along in our challenges. I enjoy your wonderful and creative art, and sincerely hope that you will stop by to join us again soon. Have a blessed week!
