As I mentioned on Tuesday, I'm trying to branch out and do more challenges this week. Today's card combines 3 of them: Laura's Sketch 29, Flutter By Wednesday #64, and this week's Stamp Something challenge to use at least 3 embellishments on your card.Last night I was decluttering and realized just how much patterned paper I have (TOO much, if you're wondering). So, I'm forcing myself to use more of it. I pulled out some much-loved My Mind's Eye papers for this card.
You can't really see it in the pic, but I stamped the main panel using my Canvas bg stamp and Aqua Mist ink. The effect is subtle, but I think it gives the card that little something extra.
Stamps: Canvas (SU), All Occasion (Hero Arts)
Paper: Kraft, PTI Aqua Mist, My Mind's Eye dp
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, PTI Aqua Mist
Accessories: ribbon (American Crafts), buttons (BasicGrey), Nestabilities butterflies, hemp twine (SU), Martha Stewart scalloped dot punch

Beautiful card--butterflies and buttons go together like PB&J. I love the subtle look of stamping the main panel. I thought it was textured paper!

Wowzers! This is stunning!! Love that polka dot butterfly!!
Oooh! This is SO pretty! Simple yet stunning - great job!
So pretty!
The canvas bg is a great touch. Until I read your description, I thought it was textured cardstock. I like how you used the patterned paper for the butterfly and border. I read your post on SCS about that. I agree, patterned paper is my weakness too. Especially anything with stripes.
Wonderful card I love the paper.
i hear you on the paper thing.... I love this card! butterlies never get old!
This is very pretty Ann. Love that ribbon and the DP (yum!).
Great card Ann! What a fun butterfly!
Pretty! I like your choice of colors! So sweet! I have some old stash and I'm forcing myself to use them too. But most of the time, I can't resist to use the new paper :)
So cute! I love these designer paper!
Gasp, I love this !!!
Soooooooooo kewl; love this!!! And that DP is gorgeous ... I'm a hoarder of DP, too; you inspire me to actually use it, lol!
AWESOME!!! Love the butterfly!!!
Like your clean style & nice Color combo
