Hello Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge at the Double D Challenge Blog and, it's another fun theme chosen by Diane ... also check out the amazing mood board she has designed to inspire you!
Our theme is:
BUTTERFLIES
Here's the mood board Diane has created . . .
As you will see, I was inspired by the butterflies/flowers in the upper right corner for today's card. This was fun to create and I was able to pull out some of my older dies to create with today!
What do you think??
I knew immediately what flowers and butterflies I wanted to use for today's card. I love these OLD Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly dies ... as you can see, I have the larger set and the smaller set, which works perfectly for a design such as this. The flowers are an older Memory Box 'Blushing Bouquet' (#98890) which I've die cut twice and popped one stem up in front of the other.
The ribbon bows I've had for a long time but never used (tells you I have way too many dies lol). It was purchased from Dies R Us when they had one of their international special sales. There are 2 different dies in the pack ... the other one has more loops ... by Lea'abilities.

Well aren't you the clever one to color the edges of your butterflies. Really makes them pop - you are a GENIUS!!! Wonderful card, I love the design. The flowers, the sweet polka dots, everything just goes together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYour card is just beautiful and a breath of summer done with paper! Loving not only the butterfly dies, but those flower dies are fabulous too! NJ on this!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is beautiful, Darlene! I'm addicted to yellow, I think. I just love your dies and colors and how you put it all together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and happy card. Love the yellow, white and black combo. And then you add the greens and you get a stunning result! This will put a smile to the recipient's face for sure.
