When I saw the picture Kristina Werner posted on her blog for her 13th Color Inspiration Challenge, I knew I wanted to incorporate flowers and a butterfly into my card. I used Fall-to Layout #4 from the clean & simple blog.
I started by stamping the Floral background in Purely Pomegranate ink on the Regal Rose card. After cleaning the big stamp, I inked it up again with Regal Rose ink and stamped it on Whisper White card stock. The third time I stamped it in Wild Wasabi ink on River Rock card stock. Then I cut out the pieces I wanted and, like doing a puzzle, placed them on the card.
I stamped the butterfly from Touch of Nature in VersaMark on River Rock card stock and embossed it with white Stampin’ Emboss powder before cutting it out. The saying is from the Time for You set (in the Occasions Mini Catalog) and was stamped in Purely Pomegranate ink on textured Whisper White paper. A Rose Red button was adhered next to the sentiment with a mini glue dot. No thread was used on the card; I drew a little stripe on the button with my white gel pen.
Thanks for stopping by!
