As I mentioned earlier, I had twelve whole hours of paper therapy and girlfriend time which means I have a few cards to share. Can y'all handle one more tonight? The challenge this week over at Heart 2 Heart is to celebrate fall by using Barn Red, Sunset, Cashmere and Gypsy in a project. Well that is one way to make me take a break from playing with my Frosted paper! It just so happened that I had just gotten the new Huntington paper which would be perfect for this challenge. My first thought was to use leaves. Now I do not know about where y'all live, but the trees here in Virginia do not turn purple, so I still needed to figure out a way to work in some Gypsy. Hmmmm. This card became another lesson in learning to let go of an idea. As I flipped through my stamps, I came upon my favorite butterfly along with a new idea and away I went. This card came together pretty easily using this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
I love ow the new Bronze Shimmer Trim compliments the rich colors in the Huntington paper. I also slipped in a little bronze glitter paper along the outside edge of the dark panel. Thank you for stopping by! Now please head on over to see some more creations at Heart 2 Heart and Freshly Made Sketches Until next time, Hansi

ReplyDeleteI thought I saw a peek of glitter on that edge! LOVE the combination here, Hansi! My favorite butterfly too. I love how you solved that little issue with the Gypsy.
