Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge: Have a Beautiful Day

Hello!  Today, at the last minute, I decided I wanted to play along with the PTI blog hop!  It was the perfect day to do so as it was just a quiet, lazy day at home after church this morning and what better kind of day to pull out the craft supplies!

The theme for this month was to create a card using aqua & melon!  I love those colors together!

Have a Beautiful Day

I used the beautiful butterfly dies from PTI called Life is Beautiful.  I LOVE, LOVE the size of the butterflies in this set!  I really like that this one is so large and detailed!  Beautiful indeed!

Have a Beautiful Day Closeup

I had fun creating this background too!  It's so easy to pull out a few key colors but not overshadow the main focal point.  The sentiment I stamped with black StazOn ink and then embossed the "beautiful" in gold.  I really like how you can still see the background through the vellum.

Here's the inspiration piece we were working from.

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Thank you for stopping by today!  If you'd like to participate or see the other entries in the blog hop, visit Nichole's blog!

That butterfly does looks like it would be fun to play with. Love how you backed it with PP and also how you switched out the one die cut strip for gold glittered. What a lovely touch.
