Pearly Butterfly

Hello again,

This is my second post of the day.  For this post I am sending my card to Freshly Made Sketches and (PIN)spirational Challenge. These two challenges made for the perfect storm of creation!

Entering Challenges:
Freshly Made Sketches #187 (FMS187)
(PIN)spirational Challenge #140

  

Here is my card! I really hope you like it.. Here we go!!

I took the photo inspiration quite literally.
Elements of course changed for the card but the
overall feel is the same as the photo

Banner is weaved in the design for interest
and so I could fit the sentiment.

Pictures never do Perfect Pearls justice.
The light blue shimmers and gleams in the light.
Just beautiful

Photo showing the double embossed leaves,
the texture of the flowers, and
again, that beautiful blue butterfly!

 Well what do you think? The first thing that popped out to me from the photo was the butterfly!! Wow those blues are just spectacular! So for my card I decided to exgraggate it but try to keep the same coloring.

The green backdrop was dry embossed twice. Once inking the folder with white frost ink and then flipping the folder and embossing with no ink.. I like how it turned out. Like the green in the photo this green provides depth for the card.

The flowers were actually die cut from a larger flower I thought would fit but was too big for the design. So I ended cutting it up into little flowers. I like it better because it shows the glitter embossing and coloring of the original flower..

The layout of course came from Freshly Made Sketches which pulled the entire card together.. Great layout and I thank you for the design!!

That is all for me right now.. I am now on my way to a neighborhood cookout with my family.. Fun times!! Thank you so much for stopping by and please don't forget to leave a comment good, great, or otherwise!

See you soon from TheGrandStampede!!

All the Best,
