I am very excited to show of what I have created with new bundle that arrived yesterday - Butterfly Basics, I am loving it!
I have taken inspiration from 2 challenges for today's card:
I did my weekly visit to my favourite Challenge's; Global Design Projects "Case the Designer" is an awesome challenge as you can take inspiration from any element on the card - theme, layout, colours or stampset. I just loved the layout and layers in Kylie Bertucci's card, and I couldn't go past Blushing Bride at StampInkPaper - so I combined both challenges for my card.
I tend to like cool pinks, so the use of Early Espresso and Gold with Blushing Bride took me away from my natural colour combos - I love where SIP took me with this challenge.

Technique & Colours:
I stamped off Early Espresso so that it wasn't overpowering the delicate Blushing Bride, and brightened the card by using Very Vanilla as a base for the lovely layers and focal sentiment from Kylie's card - I just love the layers and combination of rectangles and sentiment circle.
I double stamped the flower using a stamp-a-ma-jig as I wasn't happy with it in just Blushing Bride, I really happy with the double stamping effect.
I just couldn't resist adding the butterfly - I double cut and layered to give a little more impact with the Gold embossed sentiment, the Gold Cord Trim reminded of little swirls as the butterfly go to "send wishes your way"
I hope you have liked my card today, I love reading your comments, til next time

Such beauty in the colors and textures of your card. The pink and brown are lovely together. Thank you so much for playing along with this week's CASE the Designer Challenge with the Global Design Project. Glad you played along.
