Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Butterfly Basics

Hi

Welcome to another Artful Stampers blog hop!

My card today uses the Bird Builder Punch as the focus of the card. I stamped on the bird with the netting stamp from Butterfly Basics in Melon Mambo and I sponged around the edges for definition. I used the sketch this week from Freshly Made Sketches and rather than use a white background (which is my usual style), I thought I would go BOLD and use Night of Navy as the base. I had some vintage DSP which I thought would look good on here too.

The Melon Mambo Stitched Satin Ribbon provides a striking splash of colour against the navy.

How good do these colours look together!!? Beautiful!


Here are our colours for the challenge...
