Master Butterfly

Good Sunday evening! I haven't been able to get much crafty time in this weekend, with working and all...our little sleepy East coast town is getting busier by the day! I did get a little time this evening to play along with this week's CR84FN color challenge and I also used  The Ribbon Reel's sketch, designed by Clare Buswell. I love Clare's work...her style is very much what I enjoy and I think that she is a very talented stamper. Here is my card combining both challenges:


Here is the color palette:



And the sketch:


In looking at the color challenge, my card appears to be a bit more peachy than pinky, but definitely girly enough for me! I've been defaulting to a lot of punch work lately...I have a new batch of Dirty Dozen cards about half way ready for the 15th's unveiling. This card is a continuation of that technique, although not as intricate as the others I've made, but I really like the look of a mix of punching designs on a card.
Well, I hope you enjoy the rest of what's left of the weekend, I have off tomorrow and hoping to get some MAJOR craft time in.
Enjoy~
