Hello!! Stopping in with a card for several challenges:
MFT sketch challenge and
Color Throwdown. The color combo at Color Throwdown is black, gray and ivory and so I wasn't sure I was even going to play along. Then my son told me that his teacher's father died over Christmas break and I thought those colors would be perfect for a sympathy card for her. I decided to pair it up with the MFT sketch using the MFT Beautiful Butterflies stamps and dies. It took a bit of planning to get everything to come together, but I think the time and effort were worth it. Once I had finished the die cutting and stamping I had to take a little break and get a few things done around the house. As I thought about the card I decided to turn it into a shaker with each butterfly being its own shaker element. The shaker mix I used is one that has clear, white and silver seed beads, along with iridescent sequins. I added in a few 4 mm black sequins from Pretty Pink Posh in keeping with the color theme. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts/Simon Says Stamp collaborative stamp set and was embossed in black on vellum, die cut with a MFT Slanted Sentiment Strip and adhered to the card.
