Flores Suaves meets Clearly for You

Hi Everyone.  Happy Saturday.

So, generally on Saturday I post my Paper Players challenge card.  Errr….mmmmm… well, I don't have my card done!  Nope.  Not even in my head!  What makes it all the more embarrassing is that it is my turn at hosting the challenge on our site this week!  You can imagine that I am blushing very badly right now.  I will be working on my card tomorrow and will update the challenge site and my blog with the card.  I must say though, I got a sneak peek at what the design team have done.  Oh, boy!  They REALLY rocked it again this week. 

I really, really, really love the Flores Suaves set.  I honestly can't understand why Stampin' Up! didn't put this amazing set into the normal catty.  It doesn't matter how many times I stamp up and color that butterfly, it still gives me immense joy.  

One of the things I promised I would do this year is use colors I don't normally use.  Crumb Cake is one of those colors.  So, to push myself, I forced myself to do a clean and simple card using Crumb Cake as my base and….. I then added Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon that I *forced* myself to buy:-)

Here's what I came up with:

I love trying out new color combos on my butterfly.  Just this week I colored one using Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy classic inks and my blender pen.  It turned out beautifully.  Perfect for Spring.  This butterfly feels perfect for fall. 

Card recipe – all ingredients Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

• Card stock:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla (for the butterfly)
• Stamps:  Flores Suaves – butterfly; Clearly for you – background
• Accessories:  Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon – I am loving this ribbon
• Tools:  Paper Snips, Mini glue dots, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Prayers tonight for Rose, Adelle, Jan A, Erin, Germaine.  For those still affected by the floods and fires in Oz.

I hope you have a wonderful evening and a peaceful, relaxing Sunday.

As always… thank you so much for your visit.  I know there are so many blogs out in blogland, and I appreciate you spending a little time in mine.

Hugs
