Welcome to the weekend, any special plans? I did not get to do any crafting since our plans changed, but I did sneak in some time already today to complete todays card. Hopefully I’ll have additional time later today.
The card for today is for the Stamp Ink Paper Color Challenge #15, you can see the banner below. Last week my card was chosen by Andrea as a design team pick, thanks so much, I enjoy playing along with the challenges! You can see that original post here.
I knew right away I wanted to make a butterfly but after that I was stuck on the design. While I was in the shower this morning it hit me, the balance of my design. For some reason I can normally have some pretty good idea’s while in the shower, go figure! So what I came up with was using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and Work of Art Stamp set to create the strip that goes across the card using the Pool Party & Daffodil Delight ink pads, I used Gorgeous Grunge to add black with Memento Black. The butterfly (made with Watercolor Wings) has a Basic Black butterfly cut in half and added to the back for a shadow effect. Sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set, one of my go to sets.
Thanks for stopping by today, hope you liked the card. Click on any of the images below for more information or to place an on-line order. Have a great day, Craft On!

Hi Karen, I love this. That background is a fantastic backdrop in those colours for your beautiful layered butterfly. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Stamp Ink Paper. Carolyn xx
