CAS-ual Colour Throwdown...

Second post for the day!




I thought I'd better make good on my lack of crafting yesterday, I had got the idea for this on the way home from the crop yesterday (as you do, lol!)  Inspired by this weeks funky Colour Throwdown, CAS-ual Fridays Happy Birthday Challenge and this versatile Card Patterns Sketch.  I created the coloured background behind the butterflies using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Broken China, Shabby Shutters, Old Paper and a smidge of Wild Honey.  The butterfly dies are all My Favourite Things :)  The background has been embossed using Cuttlebugs Jamara, and the Happy Birthday stamp is from Heidi Swapp.   I have to laugh because I've just realised that after thinking there was no way I could create a card only using cardstock for this weekends Paper Smooches Challenge, I have done exactly that - but I haven't used any Paper Smooches stamps!

Hope you have a great week, and your little ones are planning a great Mother's Day for you.

  6. Lyndal - I love this card, and I'm not even really a butterfly person! It's totally eye-catching. I too love that color combination and have used it a couple of times myself. Thanks for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
