Grattitude



I have another card for this week's Colour Q cQc #127 challenge.  I just love these colors so much (and they were still out on my desk... along with those butterflies.)


I used Distressed Stripes to create the background paper in the lower half of my card.  I bought this set a while back from someone on the PTI Forum, and I think this was the first time I've used that set.  I'll be using it again more--I really like how those stripes look.  I also got a new Cuttlebug embossing folder--Herringbone--that I used to give some texture to those butterflies.


Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Distressed Stripes, Beautiful Butterflies
Paper:  Sweet Blush, Dark Chocolate, Berry Sorbet, Simply Chartreuse
Other:  Beautiful Butterflies, Limitless Layers Oval dies, Cuttlebug Herringbone Embossing Folder, ribbon


Thanks for Visiting
