Hello ~ I couldn't let the color challenge from Color Throwdown pass me by as they're just too yummy to resist!
I created my top panel by scoring lines every 1/4 inch, adding the smaller Elizabeth Craft Designs Romantic Corner to opposite corners and then cutting the panel using a Stitched Rectangle. What a pretty base this makes for any type of card!
I used the Misti to stamp the sentiment from The Butterfly Is Proof a couple of times, making sure it had good coverage over the scored lines. At first I was thinking this card was done but then I decided it needed a little more. I have a very hard time sticking with CAS cards.
I had this Garden Notes Aster left over from a previous project and the colors still fit within the challenge, so I used it. I added a few leaves from Garden Notes Tulip that were left over as well and then some fun Flower Pot Prills. These Watermelon Sequins were the perfect finishing touch!
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Work It Wednesday ~ Summer Icons
Crop Stop ~ July Linky Party
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit

Thanks for linking up to Cropstop!! So fun to visit your blog and see the lovely things you've created!
Absolutely GORGEOUS card Birgit!! Always look at Instagram on my phone, and after seeing your card there I had to come log onto my computer so I could see this masterpiece on a larger scale! The embossing and scoring make for such a lovely background and then the flowers, prills, butterfly and amazing sentiment finish off this FABULOUS card! Love, LOVE it!! :0)
Beautiful and uses the colors to perfection.
Lovely summertime take on the throwdown colors! So glad you joined us this week!
A really pretty card Birgit, I love the idea of your scored, embossed and die cut background!
WOW! Fab design and layout, great texture and the colors are so pretty too! Love that butterfly and your pretty flowers with those prill accents! Clever! Oh and that sentiment--how lovely!
Gorgeous base for your pretty butterfly! And I love that wonderful sentiment!
The pink card base really makes this card pop and ties in all the other colors so nicely. Lots of tiny finishing touches that add so much detail. I like the corners you used and how you cut the dotted panel over it.....great idea! Such a pretty card!
Lovely card! So happy you joined us at CTD!
Beautiful, I am so glad you didn't stop there because your flower arrangement at the bottom is just beautiful and balances out your pretty butterfly so well, I love the touch of the prills you used!!
