Butterfly Thoughts - Just For Fun® color challenge #19

~

This week for the Just For Fun® color challenge, Sherry chose this fabulous color combination for us:

Of course my colors ended up being in different hues, but I'm really happy with how the card turned out.

I used 3 new stamps that I just got from Just For Fun® Rubber Stamps...the butterfly, the grass in the background and the curvy sentiment.  Aren't they great?!

I airbrushed my circle layer while it was still in the Nestabilities die using my Copic airbrush system and Copics BG72 and E55.  This circle is mounted on a textured soft suede layer that was cut with a Peony Nestabilities die.

I spread Star Dust Stickles on the butterfly's wings with my finger and used a sponge dauber to add Ranger Distress antique linen ink to the edges of the Cosmo Cricket paper.

And how about that beautiful silk ribbon that I got from Sharon's Stamp Simply Ribbon store?  Isn't it gorgeous?

We'd love for you to play along in the color challenge with us.  You have a chance of winning a $50 gift certificate from Just For Fun®.  All the challenge details can be found at the Just For Fun® blog.  Then be sure to check out all the beautiful inspiration from the design team:~
