Hello friends. I have had a busy week as we had Vacation Bible School at church and I was one of the craft helpers. Today is the first time I have had to make a card and I was inspired by two challenges: Color Hues - Pink & Turquoise and Just Us Girls - Dies, Butterfly. This is the card I came up with using some new to me dies.
The pretty butterfly is from Scrapbook.com Heirloom Butterflies. I cut the bottom layer from turquoise paper in my stash and the top layer from SU Pretty in Pink. I added a little color to the middle of the pink layer, then glued it to the turquoise layer after gluing the black body on. I mounted the butterfly to a panel of SU Smoky Slate embossed with a Paint Texture EF. I added a thin mat of Basic Gray and them mounted it to my white card base. The sentiment is from my new Spellbinders Layered Happy Birthday cut from black and turquoise. I thought about adding some pink enamel dots but left it as is and I like the finished card.
Also linking to Darnell's NBUS challenge as this is the first time using these dies.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
I love the way your bright butterfly pops on the slate with the paint texture!
