I sort of randomly signed up for a Facebook group of CAS stampers, so I see a lot of CAS cards in my feed, and that influenced this card.
I started with snippets of watercolor paper, and die-cut the flowers (Sizzix/Tim Holtz wildflowers) and butterfly (Sizzix/not Tim). I then used a bunch of water colors and reinkers that were sitting on my desk to color the flowers, stems, and butterfly. After determining the general layout I wanted, I cut the aperture (Whimsy Stamps die) on a large white snippet, and then black-embossed the sentiment. Mounted the white on a large black snippet then adhered the dies in place. Adhered it all to a white card, and added a few gems for a little bling.
This card is for these Challenges:
Butterfly Challenge #165 (used two of the required colors -- Thistle and Tickle Me Pink) and a butterfly.
Dies R Us #185-- anything goes with dies (Sizzix and Whimsy)
Die-Cut Divas Jan. 2022-- florals
Snippet Playground # 420 -- use snippets (everything but the base)
Word Art Wednesday #527 -- anything goes

Very striking against the black background. A beauty. Thankyou for coming and spending time in the butterfly garden with me. Getting very cold here and will be minus something again tonight. Hugs Mrs A.
