A new challenge blog, and a favourite!

This is my 2nd post for today - for my Retro Sketches post, click HERE.

The Card Concept is a new challenge blog - and looks like it will be great fun!  I thougth I'd try to combine their first challenge, which is a colour scheme (kraft, pink, espresso and vanilla - and I went with the clean and simple style), with this week's MUSE challenge - which is CASEing a gorgeous, sunny card by Laurie Willison.

I love the smooth image you get with Hero Arts stamps and Shadow Inks.  The pink HA Solid Flower looked a little blotchy to start, but the shadow ink just needs a bit of time to smoothe out perfectly :)   I traced over the sentiment (from Avery Elle) and the faux stitching with my Sakura Gelly Roll glimmer pen for a bit of subtle shimmer.

    Super cute card! Love the different take from the sun inspiration. Rounding the corners of your card is a nice touch.

    Welcome to The Card Concept Challenge Michelle. This is such a sweet card. The stamped and washi taped background is so perfect with the gorgeous stitched butterfly. Love how the sentiment flows through the butterfly.
