Today I was inspired by a few challenges - sometimes I just can't resist! I love playing along over at Colette's Cosmic Colours Challenge and this month's colours are so pretty (see below). At least three colours in the swatch must be used, and I used three for my butterfly thank-you card.
There's a flash thank-you challenge over at Newton's Nook so I used my Simply Sentimental clear stamps for the sentiment. Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge theme is Thank You with Butterflies so I used four Memory Box Butterfly dies: Lunette Butterfly, Oriel Butterfly, Rhone Butterfly Wings, and Effera Butterfly Wings. I've had these for quite a while and this is the first time I've used them, so I'm linking up over at djkardkreations in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3. Actually my Darice Butterflies in Corner embossing folder has never been used either, so another NBUS item!
My die cuts were made from left-over snippets - actually even the kraft and brown cardstock were in my snippets bin - so I'm linking up over at Pixie's Snippet Playground. Except for the white card base, the whole card is made from left-over snippets! Did you notice my ink splats? I still don't have the hang of it but I like to try it every once in a while! To finish off the card, I added some brown sequins to the butterflies.
Here are the 5 challenges I'm supporting:
- Butterfly Challenge Thank You with Butterflies 1/3
- Cosmic Colours Challenge #9 UE
- djkardkreations Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3 AG C5 2/3
- Newton's Nook Flash Challenge - Thank You Theme 1E
- Pixie's Snippet Playground Snippets described above 2/3

ReplyDeleteWow Kitty, you have fully reached all the challenges objectives! I don't be able to work in this way, I must learn! Your card is stunning! Your use of the left-over snippets is brilliant. The four butterflies look great with the patterned paper under them, they have a beautiful 3D effect! Love the splatter on the embossed background and the brown sequins above the butterflies!
