Thinking of Butterflies

Mornin' y'all!  I actually meant to post this card yesterday afternoon/evening, but I got distracted because we went to Ryan's swim lesson and then I made dinner for Taco Tuesday and then I worked on my current stitching project and I just forgot.  So here it is now:


I made this for the Paper Players' CAS challenge of things that fly, but I think I ran past CAS on this one considering there are four layers and quite a bit of pattern.  But I did hit a couple of other challenges, starting with the Creative Colour Challenge:


I stamped the butterfly with Versamark + Night of Navy, then embossed with clear embossing powder so I could use Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade to watercolor the butterfly; I thought if I used Blends that it would be too overpowering for the card.  I paired that with the Atlantic Hearts sketch for this week:


I really like this one.  It gave me an excuse to use my new favorite Textured Notes dies : )

Time to get Ryan off to school and today he has his extracurricular class after so I get extra crafty (and laundry) time.  And I'm making a dessert for a function at the hubs' work tomorrow.  Have a great day, peeps.  Cheers!

Stamps:  Sketched Butterflies
Ink:  Versamark, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade
