This is my second post for the day. To see what else I've been up to, please scroll down.
It's Monday, which brings us to the next challenge at House of Cards. I've been participating with them since the first post went live, at the beginning of the month, but this week is focused on my group - Classic and Elegant. Below is the theme for this month. For this weeks challenge, click HERE.
And here is what I created:
I LOVE butterflies! These Verve butterflies are among my favorite, and when I saw the theme for this months color challenge, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I colored them with my Copics, in the colors matching the theme, and then cut them out. I don't like to fussy cut, much, but they're exactly what I hoped they'd be, once I put them on my card. I used THIS sketch, even though the challenge is now closed, because it was perfect for what I wanted to do. And, I'm happy to have another card to add to my stash, yay!
I have also combined the following challenges in my card today:
Totally Papercrafts #175 - All of a Flutter
Speedy Fox & Friends #168 - Favorite Technique (dry embossing)
Robyn's Fetish #168 - Things With Wings
Hybrid Chick Card Caravan #46 - Red, White & Blue
I do hope you'll head over to the House of Cards challenge blog to see what my friends have created for you today as well. They're pretty fantastic!
I'll be back with more crafty goodness soon...
Hugs!
