Hey Everyone, I’m Back! Sorry for last week, but my neck was out, and I was down for the count for a few days. I am all better and ready to go! This week I have Butterflies galore on my project for the next installment of my This Crafters Dream Color challenge. I used the must-have Butterfly Bijou Designer Series paper to create this spring-inspired card.
To play along, complete your project using the colors given in the weekly challenge and post your project to the comments over on my TCD Facebook Page using the hashtag #tcdcc17. I will randomly pick one winner each week and announce the winner on Sunday. Each winner will get the card I made for the color challenge that week and an additional surprise mailed to them. If you are not on Facebook, you can email me your card with #TCDCC17 in the subject, and I can post it for you so you can still play along.
This week’s Color Challenge colors are So Saffron, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, and Misty Moonlight.
These cards are super fast to make. I started with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ Just Jade cardbase that is scored at 5 1/2″. I added a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Just Jade cardstock layer that was dry embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. To that, I added a DSP layer of 4″ x 2 1/4″. Die-cut your butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper using the Brillant Wings Dies and add two to the card. Stamp your sentiment using Magenta Madness ink, then add a Linen Thread bow.
You can watch the video below to see how I put this card together.
Quick tip, you can make a stack of these cards and leave off the sentiment until the need arises. Then stamp the sentiment and add it to the card, and you have cards on demand!
Now it’s your turn to play along with this week’s Color Challenge. Create your masterpiece using these colors and post your card to the comments of my #TCDCC17 post on my TCD Facebook Page. Sunday, I will randomly pick a winner and mail my card as a thank you for playing along.
Happy Stamping!
