Sparks Challenge

I caved.

It's Day 5 of the Pattern Play Online Card Class, and I'm tardy.  So many beautiful cards have been showcased on some of my favorite blogs, and I have this huge stack of patterned paper, and huge stash of scraps of patterned paper.  I just needed to figure out what to do with it. So, I enrolled in class tonight.

After taking a moment to peruse through a few PDFs I wanted to get a card started for Day 2 where Jennifer Rzasa worked with us on paper piecing.  The Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge has a wonderful color combination this week, so that has been on my mind the last few days.  Now, I'm so happy that it's Friday, and I had a chance to make something using these colors:

For my card, I used  my not-so-new stamp set, Flap Happy and the matching die.  I also used the Loopy Leaf die which is a companion die to the Leafy Greens stamp set.  Here's what I came up with:

I die cut the butterflies from cardstock and stamped them.  I also stamped them on the patterned paper and cut around them with scissors.  After impressing and inking up the Vintage Cream panel, I adhered the leaves to create a border, and then attached the butterflies.

Here's a closer look, so you can see the dimension as the wings aren't adhered to the die-cuts.
