How is your weekend going, so far? Mine is going to be nice and relaxing. My daughter finally has a day off during the weekend, so we've decided to make it a movie marathon afternoon. There are several movies we've wanted to see, and today we're going to see three of them, in a row. We've never done more than one movie at the theater before, so this should be interesting. Our movie theater will give free refills on popcorn, if you purchase the large size, so we will be set all afternoon! lol Anyway, one of the color challenge blogs I saw yesterday had a gorgeous color combo posted. I was so taken by it, that I had to create a card when I got home from work. Here is what I made.
Tell me these colors aren't gorgeous together! I definitely felt that less was more for this card. Once I was done with the stenciling, it was hard not to love it. You can't really see it in the picture, but the butterfly was stamped with water after I colored my paper with distress ink, for a bit of added dimension. I think this stencil and the butterfly dies from MFT are going to be some of my favorites. I love the clean look of this card. And I'm so excited to have another card in my stash too. I was excited to combine the following challenges also.
Colour Me #76: Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Coastal Cabana & Neutral
Simon's Wednesday Challenge: Favorite Technique or Product (I used my favorite product, dies)

That's it for me today. I'm headed on a walk with my mom, then get ready for our afternoon filled with movies and popcorn. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Stay crafty my friends!
