Hi there, everyone! I've got a triple challenge card for you today!
First, it's time for the latest Color Throwdown challenge! Kerri is our host this week with this great color combo:
~
And I'm playing along in the Our Craft Lounge blog challenge OCL130 - use something that floats!
~
And last, but not least, I've used this week's CPS279 sketch:
~
So here's my card using the OCL stamp set Butterfly Kisses and some great DP from Graphic 45 called A Lady's Diary.
~
The blue layer and the butterfly are actually ivory cardstock, painted with Tumbled Glass Ranger Distress stain. And all the edges of the paper were rubbed with Frayed Burlap stain.
I'd love to see what you create using this week's Color Throwdown challenge! Link it up at the CTD blog and please visit with the other CTD girls to see what they've created for your inspiration:

Beautiful card, Broni and I love how you used a butterfly for the "float" part of the OCL challenge. That would never have entered my mind, but it's perfect!
