Butterfly birthday wishes, in merlot and navy

 

Today's card was inspired by 4 challenges - colors, sketch, theme and a tic tac toe game.

I really loved the colors from the current challenge at Color Hues, which are Merlot and Navy:

I followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, only instead of a small horizontal rectangle, I used s large sentiment:

I used Creative Expressions stencil with Hero Arts 'Raspebrry Jam' ink as the wide vertical panel, and matted it with a navy pp.

I adhered a 'Maja Design' pp in distressed dark blue on top.

For the butterfly I used My Favorite Things 'Brilliant Butterflies' stamps and dies set, with the Rasperry Jam ink and Hero Arts 'Navy' ink.

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower 'Happy Birthday Duo Sentiments' stamps and dies set, and I used the navy ink.

This color combo is very striking, don't you think?

AAA Birthday theme is Butterlies:

I also played with Tic Tac Toe challenge, and took the middle row - layers, CAS and stamping.

A CAS birthday card, inspired by some challenges.

I used Creative Exprssions Leafy Swirls stencis, with 4 different distress oxide inks (shabby shatters, twisted citron, mermaid lagoon and tumbled glass), to make the left panel.

I then stampd Creative Expressions Dotty Flowers stamps (the flower and the sentiment) in Versafine onyx black ink.

A very CAS one layerd card!
