I am forever making cards that meet challenges but I never seem to get them uploaded to actaully enter the challenge!!
Here is a card that fits that category. A few weeks ago, the Basic Grey blog had a challenge to use Black, Grey and One (meaning to use the colors black and grey plus one other color). I decided to use this strip of butterflies from their
Abrosia line. It is called
Winsome and contains lots of different colored butterflies, but I strategically cut the black and grey ones out to use. The other color is red...or maybe the cream...I guess it is a bit of a cheat!!
I also added an oval of grey paper from Stampin' Up! cut and embossed using my oval Nestabilities. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from
Quilters Sampler by Papertrey Ink. The little swirl under the sentiment is from
Faux Ribbon (also from Papertrey Ink). One tiny gem to add a bit of bling!!
Thanks for dropping in!!!

Beautiful card. Love how you used the butterfly paper trimmed out.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Donelda! The strip of butterflies is the perfect touch against the dark background --who needs stamps when you have Basic Grey? OK, I still need my stamps, but this is a wonderful CAS card!!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Basic Grey! And the dark cardstock is perfect for this!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, lovely butterflies :o)
