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