It's a new month so we're starting our challenge rotation all over again at
Inkspirational which means we're kicking May off with a colour combo challenge.
Tammy from Creatively Me is our sponsor for May and here is the fab prize that's she's very kindly giving away to our May monthly winner.
I have to be honest and say I didn't really fancy the colours together when I first saw the challenge prompt picture but as I worked on the card I realised what a striking combo it makes! I've used the SU! colours Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Peach Parfait with Very Vanilla as a neutral. I dug out the Peach Parfait paper that came from the SU! Everyday Enchantment pack and glued that to the front of my 5 3/4" square Old Olive card base. I stamped the leaves, flowers and sentiment onto a Very Vanilla panel and layered onto Peach and Eggplant mats. I punched the butterflies and fixed them together with a brad that matches the patterned paper and attached the butterfly element to a strip of Eggplant ribbon. I taped a strip of the ribbon to the bottom part of the card and added a bow to complete the card front.
Here's the inside and envelope.

This background paper is a great mix with the stamps. I love the corner of flowers and the little brad is a perfect centre for the butterfly x
This is absolutely stunning, Ruth! LOVE this set--I need to use it more--and I LOVE the brad in the middle of the butterfly! I think those patterned brads are the perfect butterfly centers. :) HUGS and hope your week is going well! :)
PS: Sorry that the DT call at HOC didn't post--it's up now. I was having issues with my browser but now I'm using Chrome and hope that this takes care of the problems! :)
Very beautiful Ruth! It looks like those colors were made for you to use! I really like the stamped leaves/flowers on the focal piece. Great job!
