Stepping out of my comfort zone with this card and a Vintage and/or Shabby Chic challlenge at the As You Can See It Challenge Blog. The background patterned paper was included in a goodie bag from Unity Stamps on a recent purchase. I added a variety of stamps from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection Stampers Anonymous stamp set Nature’s Elements. I added a brown ribbon for good measure and just needed a pop of color with my purple butterfly. I really liked the sentiment and know just which one of my friends I can send this card to.
My card will be shared with:

Lovely! The butterfly added just enough color.
Thanks Lisa.
Sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone and see where we can go. This card turned out great. Love the sheer brown ribbon. The purple butterfly adds just the right pop of color.
Thanks, Judy, I was worried about the purple butterfly but I’m glad you thought it added the right amount of color.
Beautiful! Perfect for the vintage/shabby chic challenge.
That is what I call a perfect Shabby chic creation. Adding the purple butterfly really makes the card.
Thanks, Johanna, this was a real challenge to make a shabby chic card. I think the patterned paper was the star.
Getting out of our comfort zone is what makes us better and more creative.
Beautiful!! Love the vintage/shabby chic look.
Thanks!
I really like the way that bright butterfly stands out from the rest of the shabby chic background. It’s sometimes nice to have a reason to step out of our comfort zone, so thank you for joining in with us at AYSI for this one. 🙂
Sorry, Gayle, I didn’t mean to leave you an anonymous comment. Jan from As You See It. 🙂
Thanks so much Jan. I appreciate you stopping by and for a fun challenge.
Such a fab card – I love the contrast of the purple butterfly against the background. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It challenge!
Thanks for a great challenge.
