just for you

<--- Well, what do you get when you start out with that? Looks pretty blah, eh? At least that's what I think ... LOL!

I was playin' around with a couple of challenges (like normal) and these were the colours that were given from the Color Cue challenge (white, navy, light blue, and yellow). The other challenge was from 2 Sketches 4 You -- one with a scalloped circle in the centre. Now, I do have dies that'll cut a scalloped circle but I felt like using my latest die acquisition -- the Island Floral die from the current Summer mini catalogue!

Anyways, with the thoughts floating in and around my head, here's what I ended up with after all of that!

Stamps: Eastern Blooms, En Francais, Great Friend, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Barely Banana, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Haiku DSP (retired), Confetti White, Whisper White
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Versa Mark®
Accessories: Eyelet Border Punch, Island Floral die, Swirls Sizzlit, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, Dimensionals®, Circles #2 die, So Saffron Grosgrain (SAB retired)

I ended up changing the colour of the card base as the white was just a bit too white for me. The butterfly is embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder and then cut out! So, what do you think?

Thanks for visiting!
