Hi everyone! Are your days getting more and more hectic this week? I hope you have time to play in this week's Just Us Girls challenge. Ina has chosen these fabulous colors for our color week challenge.
Here is a close up of the picture and colors.
I imagine that these colors would make for a beautiful Christmas card. But I've done enough of those and needed a break. I went through my stash of stamps and came across this Modern Basics one from Papertrey Ink. I looked at some samples on their site of how all these pieces could be used and found one I fell in love with from Betsy Veldman. She just knows how to put fun colors together! So I sort of cased her card (well, at least the stamping portion of this card), I used several of the colors from the challenge and created the background. Then I took that tide pool ink and colored some white cardstock with it so I had an exact match. I then die cut the butterfly from it. That is placed on dimensionals in the center. I wanted to do something different, so I die cut the bow from white cardstock and added it along the side to make it look like it was actually ribbon tied on.
