upsy-daisy-wsc-bew-jbinsp.jpgSo I started with the idea of a subtle card. Simple, a little popped up butterfly. Then I pulled out the Boho Blossoms punch and started punching, and layering, and then adding some more layering. Then when I needed a larger blossom on the other side, I started punching, and layering, and then I decided it needed some sparkle. So out came the craft ink and irridescent ice embossing powder. First a little on the chipboard blossom. Then the butterfly looked too plain, so I thought I would add some to the pink (after running it through the texture plate on my Big Shot). Then the smaller blossoms looked too plain so I embossed some circles behind them as well.

 The end result-a card on crack. Enjoy!

The card was made for the Weekend Sketch Challenge and the original sketch done by Jenn, which was the inspiration for my pink and orange color combo. Check out the sketch challenge and play along!

    This is definitely a Britta card–subtle is not usually your thing! LOL Love all of the glitter, and I love the story with the subtle card too.
