you lift me up...

Hey there!  Well... my youngest made it through the first two days of school and I'm working on getting back into the school routine of dropping him off and picking him up!   I haven't made a card for the Color Throwdown in quite some time.  I think that last time I did was back in the middle of August.  I always enjoy combining CTD with Freshly Made Sketches and that is what I did today.  I used a new to me Reverse Confetti stamp and die set called Butterfly Blossoms that I was able to purchase thanks to Ellen Hutson's Labor Day sale.  I stamped the butterfly and the blossoms on smooth Bristol cardstock with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink and then colored them with ZIG markers.  When they were dry I die cut with the matching dies.  I then die cut some what cardstock with the largest  AJVD Stitched Dot rectangle die and then stamped the butterfly on that with light gray ink.  I used the outline die from the Wheat Confetti Cut die set and cut three outlines from white cardstock and then adhered them behind my butterfly.  The blossoms were layered on top with foam tape.   I stamped the sentiment using the VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink, adhered the butterfly to the stamped panel and then adhered the panel to a light gray cardstock base.  Also going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to just stamp it.   I think this also works for the Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash challenge so I will post it there, too.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  (Compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.)
