inspiration
I had a lot of inspiration for this card. The Hero Arts Blog challenged us to find inspiration from one of the blog-a-day winners and Lucy Abrams inspires me constantly with her cards. I found this card of hers simple and yet so elegant.
Along with the Hero Arts challenge this qualifies for the Color Inspiration #55 and Caardvarks challenges. I found the color combination so awesome, but had a hard time using them. Caardvarks challenge this month is to create a window card. The top label frame is popped up like you are looking through a window.
The butterfly is stamped on patterned paper with grey ink and then heat embossed with clear powder.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
