Happy Wednesday!!


I finally completed the latest
Friday Mashup challenge...literally linking up my card before I typed up the description! 2 minutes to spare...adrenaline rush! LOL Not only is the card for the Mashup, but it also uses the palette from the
ColourQ challenge, which was extended a week (WooHoo!) Finally, I used the
sketch challenge posted today on SCS. I adapted it a bit, maybe too much. Oh well. I am grateful that there are no challenge police!


My card base is strawberry slush, and the layer of whisper white is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, then sponged with coastal cabana. 3 of my horizontal strips are from the SU brights pattern paper stack, in daffodil delight and tangerine tango. The other 2 strips are my own dp, made with various stamps in the "Flight of the Butterfly" stamp set.
I made this wonderful butterfly using coastal cabana and the SU Butterflies thinlit die, which had been sitting in my drawer for 2 months. I was a bit nervous about it. Lots of little pieces to pop out, but I as able to do it easily with my finger or my piercing tool. The lace is from a friend who sews a lot. It was white, but I sponged it lightly. Finally, the sentiment is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" punched out with the word window.
This card is headed to one of my great-nieces. She turns 14 next week...hard to believe.
Thanks for stopping by again.

Hi Kim, what a lovely card! The embossed background and strips of Designer Paper really make your butterfly and sponged lace "pop". I'm sure your grand-niece will love it. Thanks so much for joining the Friday Mashup Challenge this week.
