Butterfly Trio

What do you get when you combine two great challenges, butterflies and the Inlaid Die Cut Technique?  A very pretty 5" x 5" card that is destined for my favorite oldest granddaughter who recently moved to Reno, Nevada.  To clarify, I have two granddaughters so I have a favorite oldest and a favorite youngest.  And, to further clarity, I have seven grandsons who are all my favorites.  :-)

For this card, I combined the Retrosketches Challenge sketch with Hayley's colors from the Colour Me...! Challenge.  I have really taken to the Inlaid Die Cut Technique.  It's fun and really quite easy to do.   


Stamp Sets:  Butterfly Basics, Kinda Eclectic, Nature's Perfection; Inks:  Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Sahara Sand; Cardstock:  Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Sahara Sand, Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Woodland Embossing Folder, Elegant Butterfly Punch, 2" Circle Punch, Circle Collection Framelits Dies, Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim, Pearl Basic Jewels, SNAIL Permanent Adhesive, Dimensionals, Stampin' Trimmer, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.  All Stampin' Up!® product unless otherwise noted.

The sketch I used is from the Retrosketches Challenge.

    1. Thanks, Ren! They are colors I don't normally use so it was fun to step out of my comfort zone. They are great colors.
