Don't you love it when one card works for more than one challenge? I sure do. My card is for both Make It Monday #205 (Confetti Cluster Stamping) and Color Throwdown #334 (use pink, orange and navy blue).
I originally was using a white card base and outlined the two butterflies, but as I was stamping the confetti, I was making a mess on my white card base. I thought I was being careful, but not so much, so I ending up cutting both butterflies out. I also think I used too many of the confetti stamps inked with Stampin' Up's Pink Pirouette ink, as my background looks more pink than just confetti. I also used SU's Night of Navy and Tangerine Tango with the confetti stamps. The confetti stamps came from the following PaperTrey Stamp sets, Country Fair, Shakers & Sprinkles, Sparkle & Shine and Friendly Flowers.
I used SU's Blushing Bride, Night of Navy and Tangerine Tango card stock and put the Night of Navy and Tangerine Tango through SU's Honeycomb embossing folder. I stamped Happy Birthday (PTI's Keep It Simple: Birthday Mini Stamp Set) in SU's Night of Navy ink on a banner of SU's Blushing Bride card stock and pop dotted up the butterflies and the happy birthday banner. To finish the card off, I added some pearls to the butterflies.

ReplyDeleteGreat color combination and love your confetti butterflies! Looks like it was a "good oops" too, that you had to give up the white background and cut out the butterflies....they look amazing against the Night of Navy and Tangerine Tango cardstocks! Great card Sue!! :0)
