Butterflies at the Cafe

The sketch this week from Limelight:

The Color Challenge from The Play Date Cafe:

I love the sketch and colors but sure had trouble making something from them.  I think perhaps I have burn out from doing my report cards.  Anyhow here is the first card I did, wasn't completely happy with it.  This first card incorporates the Stamp Something challenge - happy.

So I was determined to make something I really liked.  I am happy with this card.  I used a Maya Road envelope which I thought I could slip a Gift Card into.  The bow is made from an old sheet that I just ripped.  Stamps are from Papertrey Ink and the butterfly is cut with the Indie Arts Cricut Cartridge and then embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  This one is also for the Caardvarks challenge - embossing.

  2. Hi Laurel, I love them both, but I'm so entirely {in love} with kraft anything that the 2nd one just grabs me! LOL I am amazed how wonderful the ribbon & bow look - you "just tore a sheet" - WOW. I wouldn't even have THOUGHT of just tearing a sheet. Just beautiful!
