Ombre Butterflies


I've been busy again with my new Flap Happy stamp set from Paper Smooches! This time, I thought I'd play along again with this week's Sparks Challenge, a sketch:


I wanted to see if I could work with this sketch and a one-layer panel along with the ombre color scheme again.  Here's what I came up with:


To be honest, this is the third attempt at this card.  The first time, I thought I'd put a die-cut butterfly on top, but I didn't like it.  Taking it off did not go well.  The second time, I had it all finished - turned it over to crease the fold, and apparently there was ink on my mat, so the front got smudged with some orange ink.  I didn't give up!

Cath, over at Moxie Fab World is celebrating lots of trends this month with the release of Card Creations 11.  This is another one is for her challenge to use ombre color scheme.  You can see all the details if you click here!


Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!
