Make it Monday Challenge # 64

     Here is my second card I made for the Make it Monday #64 Challlenge over on Capture the Moment , Nichole Heady's Blog for Papertrey Ink. The challenge this week was to create a project using color inpiration. I used this photo from Nichole's Blog as my inspiration.
     I loved the soft muted tones of this inspiration photo!! especially the Terracotta and Aqua Mist together with kraft, just spoke to my heart!!! So here is the card I created for this challenge.
     For this card I used Kraft cardstock as my base, then Fine Linen, which I stamped a background using the Beautiful Butterfly stamps with versamark ink, I love the tone on tone images I got!!! I used a small scrap of My Minds Eye patterned paper which had all the colors of the inspiration photos, I die cut some Aqua Mist cardstock with the Filigree Border die, added a doily from my stash, then I cut some Terracotta Tile cardstock with my Spellbinders-Label #8 die and stamped my sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies in Dark Chocolate on Kraft cardstock, added more butterflies with versamark, and die cut it also with the Label #8 from Spellbinders. I mounted these on foam adhesive then ran some seam binding and tied a bow, I punched two Butterflies with my Martha Stewart punch, one in Aqua Mist and one in cream velum, added some pearls from Melissa Frances and a flower pin from Maya Road, which I colored with my Copics to match the Terracotta Tile cardstock. For all my Papertrey Ink supplies, you can find them Here. Thanks for stopping by, Have a great day.

Make it Monday Challenge #64

     Here is a card I made for the Make it Monday #64 Challlenge over on Capture the Moment , Nichole Heady's Blog for Papertrey Ink. The challenge this week was to create a project using color inpiration. I used this photo from Nichole's Blog as my inspiration.
     I love the vintage feel of this photo and the soft colors. So here is the card I created using this as my starting point.
       I used Berry Sorbet cardstock as my cardbase, then added this very pretty vintage looking patterned paper from Echo Parks-This & That collection, as my next layer. I die cut three butterflies using Berry Sorbet, Hawaiian Shores, and Aqua Mist cardstock and my die from the Beautiful Butterfly die set. I stamped each butterfly with the Gingham background stamp using versamark ink, then added clear embossing powder and heat embossed them, it added a nice dimension of color to the Butterflies!! I added grosgrain ribbon down the middle of the card in Berry Sorbet and Aqua Mist, then mounted my butterflies on top using foam squares. I added Melissa Frances pearls down the centers of each butterfly, for thier bodies, a little bakers twing and button twine, a Hawaiian shores button, then I stamped my sentiment  from the Beautiful Butterfly stamp set in Dark Chocolate ink. You can find all my Papertrey ink supplies by shopping Here . Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day, and tomorrow is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY!! Have fun everyone.
