Believe in Your Dreams
We had about an inch of snow this past weekend. Don’t laugh! That’s a little less than our annual average! Even though our weather isn’t as harsh as other places, I’m already tired of the cold. So since it’s my week to host the Color Throwdown challenge, I decided to choose some soft spring colors to at least make me feel like the warm weather is on it’s way!
This is more of a “scrappy” card, because I only used one stamp and instead relied on other elements, or embellishments, to provide the interest. What do you think? Is it interesting enough?
The butterfly is part of a discounted package I found at Hobby Lobby and I didn’t realize until I got it home that some of the butterflies had flock on them. Cool! Here’s a closer look (click on it to see it REALLY close up):
We’d love for you to participate in the color challenge with us! Just upload your card using the chosen (or similar) colors to either your blog or favorite online gallery. Then link the card (not just your blog) to today’s Color Throwdown post using Mister Linky.
You can check out the other designers’ creations for some inspiration here:
