I have quite a few packs of long-retired SU! designer papers in my stash that I'm trying to use up. The pieces in this pack were too small to make a card, so I cut them into strips and made a herringbone panel. I love the soft colors of pink and brown together and just used what matching pieces of cardstock I could find. The border was done with a Martha Stewart doily punch, adding tiny pink gemstones on each scallop. The butterfly was die-cut in both colors, adding more gemstones on the body. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from SSS and I added a tiny pink twine bow beneath. The recipient has already received this, so I'll share it with the Snippets Playground #402 which is in memory of Ruby.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Monday!

What a lovely card! The herringbone bone is very pretty! A great way to use up strips that are small! Love the color combo and the beautiful butterfly, too!

Brown and pink are a lovely combination, I love the half herringbone patterned as a pretty background for the butterfly. The sentiment is fun and a twine bow in pink, perfect :) x
