Today I took the mixed media approach to card making. Many challenges coincide again and I took cues from each one for this card.
Circles? You've got it. Lots of layers? For sure. Stitching? Yes! A long sentiment? Absolutely. And a matching envelope? Oh yes, that too.
The background is a gelli print with circles. I piled on strips of paper in suitable colors, glued lightly and then sewed them on. The butterflies are stamped on another gelli print, the pink die cut uses one, too.
The sentiment is nonsensical (and that's why I like it). It starts with a printed prompt "My wish for you is" - I finished it by "don't collect butterflies". Somebody with oddball humor will appreciate it.
And finally the matching envelope:
Try it on Tuesday: Going round in circles
Let's Create Challenge: #175 AG/ opt. Lots of layers
Lost Coast portal of creativity: #130 Sentiments in focus (at least five words)
Simon Says Monday challenge: Stitch it

Love all the color and texture you have created with this. Such a great sentiment as well. Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!!
