Butterfly Friend

I got some time to play yesterday. I am still trying to adjust back to east coast time but I am getting there.

For today’s card I used the color challenge at Picture Perfect Creations.

I love doing their color challenges as they use Stampin’ Up colors and it is so easy to use the right color. This one had a wrench thrown in with the Bravo Burgundy. It was a real challenge to incorporate it but I did get it in.

I used the sketch challenge from Mary Jo’s Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge. I flipped the sketch and staggered the line element. My butterfly rectangles are actually little cards that open up to reveal a sentiment inside. I also moved the bottom element to the opposite side. Here is the sketch and my creation.

Hope you enjoyed today’s card. Let me know what you think of my little mini butterfly notes on the front. I am working on my check box tutorial. I have some pictures of the paper pattern to make so you will have a better understanding of what I did. I hope to have it posted by the end of the week. Thanks for looking and have a Terrific Tuesday!
