ATSM Challenge #280 - Photo Inspiration


Just looking at the inspiration photo for this week's Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge reminds me spring is around the corner for those of us in North America.  It's a comforting thought, especially where I live in Minnesota.  Our days are getting longer and we've had a break a couple of times recently when the temps have been nice enough to leave my long puffy down coat at home!



My card uses a butterfly from Altenew's Bamboo Rose Stamp Set, a Spellbinders Overlapping Circles embossing folder, and the Faith Wings sentiment from Impression Obsessions.

Using the white layer cake in the top left photo as my inspiration, I die cut the card base and embossed the right portion.  The butterflies were colored with Copics and fussy cut.  The sentiment is a perfect companion and the Calypso Coral ink adds a nice pop of color.  I'm just not sure about the sequins!!  
                  I hope you will take a peek at the DT inspiration here and then join the ATSM Challenge this week!

  3. Absolutely beautiful card! So delicate and elegant. Love the delicious balance between the dry embossed part and the unpattern blank part. Those butterflies are really pretty and those bright colours pop up so well over the white. Gorgeous take! Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More!
