Over at Crafty Gals Corner, we are celebrating summer with cards! Since one of my favorite symbols of summer is the monarch butterfly, that's what I chose to focus on this week.
I got to use a gorgeous digi stamp from Eureka Stamps called Butterfly and Sunflower. I paired it with a color scheme I hadn't used before - Orange, yellow, and blue. I thought it looked really summery but then I showed it to my boyfriend for the post-make assessment and he said "Wow. Very Autumny." *Facepalm* Well.... I tried! Haha
I used this awesome sketch from The Challenge
to inspire my layout.
And the color challenge from ColorQ
I'm also entering it into:
Addicted to Stamps and More - Make your Mark
So come and get summery with us this week at Crafty Gals Corner.
We have an awesome prize for you:
Absolutely stunning!! The butterfly looks amazing!! I think the colors work for both summer or fall!! Love this!! Have a great day :)

Sorry to disagree with your boyfriend but I think the blue makes it look more summery! Totally gorgeous! The butterfly looks so realistic as if it had just landed on the card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. The butterfly looks like it is ready to fly off the paper. I think it is summery with the yellow and blue:)
