Butterfly wishes


Hi Friends, I'm sharing a card today I made for a few challenges. The main challenge I had in mind is the new Card Concept Challenge #1. I used the colors listed in the inspiration photo. Image below.

My card style for this one is Shabby Chic/Vintage because of the sponged edges, vintage style newspaper print (MME) on the designer paper and the stitching. I was planing on making a birthday card but when I pulled out the MFT butterfly stamp set and dies, I decided to used the sentiments included in the set. The leafy flourish and the tab are also MFT.  I followed the Cardabilities #91 sketch this week which is another challenge I've never played in.

I'm sure you all noticed all the stamp company and challenge blog closings at the end of last year, many of which I used to follow. So now we'll all have to settle into new ones. I'm very intrigued by the different card styles that Lesley listed at the Card Concept and want to try them all at some point.


Some other challenges I'll submit this to are:
Aud Sentiments -Any Sentiment
In the pink challenge -Anything w/pink
Moving along with the Times - Girly
7Kids College Fund -Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by!
Kim
