Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge # 142-Colors

For this challenge we are to use the above colors. I had so many ideas rolling in my head for this one. I finally chose to do some butterflies using the Papillon Potpourri.

My card base is Bermuda Bay (as close to aqua this color is) 4/14 x 5 1/2. I then used glimmer paper from the 2018 Occasions Myths and Magic as the mat. I then took a piece of Whisper White and stamped the hardwood in Basic Gray. I then swiped Bermuda Bay across it to give it a washed look. I added the Basic Gray shimmer ribbon (free in the sale-a-bration that ends March 31.) I then popped it up with dimensionals. I stamped each butterfly in Bermuda Bay and Lemon-Lime twist and punched them out along with the glimmer paper. I punched a 1 inch square and swiped the edges with Basic Gray. I adhered the square and popped up the small green butterfly. I did the same to the larger butterflies. Finally I took the Truly Tailored punch and stamped Sending Wishes Your Way from the Butterfly Basics stamp set and adhered it along with the small butterfly.

Did you know...

That March 1st was national peanut butter day? Which do you like, creamy or crunchy. Mine is crunchy.
March came in like a lion here in Ohio it rained a lot! How did your first day of March act?
