I'm afraid I've been a bad blogger of late with all the things that have been going on in our lives.
However there are a few challenges I don't like to miss and the Butterfly Challenge is one of them.
Now I did scratch my head over this challenge because with all the inkpads I have crimson isn't something I use much.
Then I had a light bulb moment!!!
On Monday morning I went to a card and coffee class where we used this very pretty Stampin' Up stamp. We made small cards and I chose to use this crimson colour to stamp with.
So - after reading the theme for the challenge I cut off the front of the card and matted it onto silver miri card. I put the ribbon onto an A6 card then added my 'topper' after adding a wink of stella to the daisies. For the cream I punched out two circles for the daisy centres and added a bow.
As I recently had a tidy up I had to hunt high and low for my butterfly stickers. Now a tidy-up should make life easier but I can never remember where I put things. Perhaps that's why I don't often bother!!! Anyway, I finally found this little holographic edged sticker which had a bit of cream and a sort of crimson colour on it. I stuck it to some white card and fussy cut it out.
Voila!!!! here's my card for the Butterfly Challenge #94 which hopefully ticks all the boxes. Oh and I did round all the corners right at the end.
Have a lovely day everyone. xxx

Wow you really had your thinking cap on for this one...and I must say I like the crimson flowers...not usually a colour choice to stamp in as you say.Anyway I think you have done a good job on this and good luck in the challenge.

Oh how lovely this is Barb! A gorgeous card - and I think that floral stamp might be a new one that I ordered a couple of days ago! It's beautiful and you just confirmed that I was right to go for it!

What a pretty stamp and it looks fab in crimson - you made a beautiful card.
As for tidying up - I am the same, can't find a thing afterwards.

Hi Barb, sorry this comment is really late :( Your card is stunning I love those flowers in that gorgeous colour,
Hugs Kaz xx
What sweet and pretty flowers and just the perfect colour for the challenge Barb, and very inventive of you to adapt it by adding a few extra embellishments, and it covers all bases as they say. x
Stunning card barb. I love butterflies and think they make a beautiful touch to any card. Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I'm going to go and follow you. Have a lovely day xx
Love the card Barb and the colour is stunning .

Oh this is pretty, and love the deep rich crimson colors. Great shading on the petals too. How great you could use something you'd already started and make it fit perfectly for the challenge. I like the change of pace color on the butterfly too. Had a chuckle over your tidy up story. Same thing happens here...It always makes sense when I'm putting it away, so I'll know exactly where it is when I need it. Then - you guessed it..hunt high & low and it hides. TFS & have a great weekend. Thanks for all your sweet visits and comments. Life happens to us all from time to time.
Such a beautiful card Barb! I love the ink color you used on these flowers and I love the way you stamped them all around the card. Your butterfly sticker is just as beautiful too. Hugs, Brenda
Great use of that small card Barb! LOVE it! Have a lovely day! Luv & Hugs. Hazel xx
