Discover Your Wings - SCS Color Challenge

Good morning! Well, I'm hoping it will still be 'morning' when I finish this post... where has the day gone!? But I did find some time to stamp this morning! I didn't have an agenda when I started and it was quite wonderful to sit down and play for a while. I checked out the SCS Color Challenge and I was feeling inspired. It has been ages since I participated so I thought I'd give it a go! I started by embossing the flowers from Discover Your Wings in white embossing powder. Then I trimmed the blue panel, popped up the green butterfly, and embellished the scene with Ice Blue and Split Pea rhinestones. I had a scrap of leftover patterned paper from the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird collection that seemed to fit the color challenge perfectly. These patterned papers are one of my all-time favorites and I'm still hoarding those last few scraps! Then I punched the open scallop border and added it along the patterned triangle piece. I finished the card with a sentiment from A Year of Sweet Sentiments and a bit of Celery Silk ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today! Now I'm off to figure out what the rest of my day holds. I hope you have a fabulous day!
