Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #219 is Blooms & Butterflies. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Coneflower Celebration Bundle for my card today. I was inspired by the Butterfly on the Flowers along with the colors for my Clean & Layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 219.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stamp the flower, stem and leaf images from the Stampin Up! Coneflower Celebrations Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the images using Old Olive, Peach Pie, Petal Pink and Deep Combo Pack Stampin’ Blends Markers. Randomly stamp the splatter image from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the Basic White panel.

Adhere the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat with Stampin’ Seal. Wrap a piece of the Old Olive Linen Thread around the layered panel 3 times and tie a bow. Adhere the layered panel to a Cajun Craze card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the butterfly image from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the sentiment from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the butterfly using Basic Black, Peach Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the butterfly and the flower center from a panel of Early Espresso, using the Coneflower Celebrations Dies. Adhere the flower center to the top of the flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the sentiment over the Linen Thread using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the butterfly to the flower using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Cajun Craze & Gold Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the butterfly image from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the sentiment. Color the image using Basic Black, Peach Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the butterfly image from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and the coneflower image on the envelope flap. Color the images using Basic Black, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Petal Pink and the Deep Combo Pack Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
