Another Two Challenge Tuesday

Hi everyone - I've got two challenges today but only one card!  CAS Colour & Sketches has a sketch challenge and I'm the hostess for Splitcoast Stampers color challenge.  I've been pretty busy trying to get taxes finished and I'm heading out for On-stage in San Antonio on Friday.  So one card doing double duty was almost a necessity!

Here is the sketch:

The colors are Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight and one of my personal favorites, Berry Burst.  Since this 2017-2019 In-Color will be retiring this year I had to use it one more time!

The card is fairly straightforward to create.  I stacked the die cuts so that I have a "shadow" of Grapefruit Grove under the word thanks.  To get the angled panel I simply die cut a stitched rectangle, placed it on my card at the angle and then trimmed off the excess.

The butterfly looks a little washed out because my Wink of Stella sort of blobbed on it.  I spread it around but it's pretty thick.  Makes for a lot of sparkle in person but not good for photos - sorry!

This butterfly set is one that has been extremely popular with Stampin' Up! and now that I've used it I can see why.  It's easy to create some lovely cards with it!
