Hi everyone!! Today's card is very special. A few ladies on the Papertrey forum had an idea to do a special secret (well, secret till now..lol) blog hop with cards thanking Nichole Heady for her tireless efforts with all things Papertrey Ink.
She does an amazing job every month bringing all of us some of the best stamping has to offer. Not just stamps..cardstock that is to die for, ribbon that is to die for...and speaking of dies...DIES that are to die for. We truly appreciate all she (or YOU if you're reading this, Nichole..which would be out - freaking - standing!!!) does to make our hobby great.
Anywho, so this is the card I created with her in mind...
I just love this card. It's one of my favorite cards I have ever made. The colors rock (more on that in a bit) and I really liked the layout on it. I used scortape and glitter to "frame out" the card. That's something I learned from Nichole and I think it totally does so much for a card. You cannot tell from the picture, maybe, but the butterflies both have Crystal Effects on them and they're just so cute and shiny in real life...just like real butterflies, right? LOL
The color scheme on this card came from this week's Curtain Call Challenge.
The challenge was to use White, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, and Concord Crush. At first the colors scared me, but once I figured out how to balance the colors in a way that I liked, I think they worked together very nicely! Ok, that's it from me...i've been a little ill the past day or two so I am going to try to get some hot tea and hop around seeing what everyone else made. :)
