Color Throwdown Butterfly

I’m sharing a card created for the Color Throwdown #293 challenge.

Color Throwdown ButterflyThe In Detail post I’ve been working on for the CLASSroom at Ellen Hutson’s includes a review of the Stephanie Barnard Butterfly Triplits Die Set (as well as the Flowers set). After seeing the fun colors for this challenge, I created a card featuring one of the die-cut butterflies. I framed the butterfly in an InstaFrame. The inside area of the MFT die was a tad small for the butterfly, so I used a square die to punch out a bigger background. I finished the card off with a sentiment from WPlus9.

Flower Power

I have been working on an In Detail post for the CLASSroom on the Sizzix Stephanie Barnard Triplit dies. I had bunches of flower die cut pieces on my work table and assembled some for this card.

Flower Power

With all of the flower pieces, it’s easy to get overloaded with choices, so I kept to three colors for the flowers, although I’d originally started out with four. I first tried the flowers on a kraft cardstock base, but they looked much better on the green base. I had a Mead spiral notebook in the early 1970s with a fabric floral pattern that had these same colors. Even though I can more or less remember the pattern, I wish I’d kept it for card inspiration!

I’m entering this card in the Less is More Challenge whose theme is flowers, as well as the CASology challenge whose theme is also flowers.
