THE CHALLENGE

Happy Sunday.
Today's entry is a Caardvarks challenge to create a monochromatic card.
The card base is SU Bashful Blue. The rest of the card was made using Core'dinations Whitewash. Core'dinations cardstock is great fun to play with because you can sand it, distress it, tear it, emboss it and so much more to reveal the hidden core color.
I tore the background paper then ran it through my big shot using a swiss dots folder. Then sanded it. The butterflies were made using Cuttlebugs cut and emboss Butterflies die, MS punch and the SU embosslits, Beautiful Wings. Then more sanding.


I used dimensionals on all the butterflies, except the baby.I gave each of the a pearl or two. Added some rick rack from Wally's on the top and bottom of the card. Then the final touch was a couple of squirts of Champagne mist from SU.
Now cross your fingers for me, cuz I'd love to win this challenge. The winner will receive a 3 month guest designer spot on the design team, and receive a generous variety of Core'dinations cardstock to work with. Oh ya...pick me paleeze
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day.
Michelle.
