The Card Concept - Let Your Dreams Take Flight!

Hello sweet friends!  I hope you're having a beautiful day!  The sun is shining here (for now!).. we're still suffering through the "April Showers".. but alas!  There are flowers abound!  I cringe every time I hear a lawn mower .. we've been without them for so many months it sounds like so much noise!

Today I'm playing along at The Card Concept!  I thought this photo was absolutely gorgeous.. the soft blue base filled with baby's breath and little butterflies.  I spy a hint of pink in the pretty doilies in the foreground, and lots of white and some wood grain. 

The Card Concept is a unique challenge because the design team highlights specific design styles.  They each approach the inspiration with their particular talent.. so one designer might be clean an simple, while another is Shabby Chic.   You can be you!  Any style you want!  

Today I'm going to be Clean and Layered.  I used pattern paper, lots of clean white space, and some embellishments! 

I started with a white Large Eyelet Cover Panel from Reverse Confetti!   I wanted to give a lacy appearance to mimic the baby's breath in the vase.  The blue pattern paper peeking through is for the blue vase of course!  

I inked up Butterfly Dreams in Orange Pink and Yellow.  I added an outline of darker ink along the edges of the stamp to add some depth and interest to the solid butterfly images.

I stamped solid little butterflies over the cover panel to add more color, and some colored pearls to the die cut flower centers.
