My blog posts have gotten very predictable: these days I start with my inspirations and proceed to how I made the card. Well, why break the mould, it serves me well... So, dear reader, let me tell you what I was inspired by this morning. It was butterflies, colors and a sketch - a combination that I thought would work well for a simple greeting card.
After seeing the inspiration photo at A Place to Start (scroll down to challenges) I knew I wanted to use an old book page. It had a tear down the middle which I decided to keep (by not glueing the ends properly), because that would work well for the sketch I was eyeing. The inspiration photo also had butterflies and flowers so I knew I would want to use those images. To begin with I pulled out these ingredients:
For stamping and coloring I used the colors in the inspiration palette (scroll down for challenges).
The card was put together following the sketch (again I refer to challenges).
I am entering this in these wonderful challenges:

Your card fits the challenges so perfectly, wonderfully done! The flowers and butterflies complement the light, summery card and stand out beautifully against the background. Thank you so much for participating in our color challenge this month. Sandra from the All About Design Team
