I had quite a few strips of pink and grey cardstock on my desk, so I decided to make a herringbone panel with them. I made an A2 panel and cut it in half to make 2 cards. I'll post the other one in the future.
I die-cut the herringbone panel with a Stitched rectangle die, and then embossed a white panel with a Cuttlebug Cape Cod EF, adding an assortment of die-cut butterflies left over from those strips of pink cardstock. I added some black and grey diamond dots to those butterflies that were left over from a wall hanging project. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from Simon Says Stamp and that's my card for today.
I'll share this card with the following challenges:
The Snippets Playground Challenge #480 - must use snippets

A/G using an ef with an optional twist of "flowers."
Wishing all the moms out there a great Mother's day today.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

What a creative use of leftover cardstock! The herringbone panel adds a lovely texture, and the embossed white background with the die-cut butterflies brings a beautiful contrast.
ReplyDeleteFab card. Love the herringbone pattern in the papers as well as the embossed piece. Have always loved those SU butterflies and will never part with that die!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. Xxx

ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Carol! Great choice of colors and I love the embossed panel, too! You are known for the Herringbone technique as they always add such a pop of color to all your cards! And those butterflies are the perfect addition to this amazing card! I just love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous. I love the pretty color combo and using the snippets really gave it a great look. You really created an amazing card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful herringbone pattern and goes so well with the embossed panel. I love that large butterfly with the embossed pattern on it. A lovely birthday card.
ReplyDeleteGoreous card! Have a lovely week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteStunning card Carol! LOVE the design so much - and how you echoed the herringbone across both panels. As Sarn said, I reckon that Stampin' Up Butterfly die is one that none of us would get rid of without a fight!I love pink and black together - the white and grey really adds even more!

How beautifully put together everything is on this card Carol. Love the grey and pink with the embossing and butterflies, a really lovely card. x
ReplyDeleteOh, one of your fabulous and famous Herringbone panels! :) Always love seeing them, you are so accurate and they look always so well! I'm not accurate enough for this type of "collage", my stripes never match LOL :D
ReplyDeleteLove pink and grey with black and white, so classy! And it seems to me that the beautiful textured butterflies come from a Butterfly Challenge prize :) I have already used mine :) The EF replays perfectly the herringbone design, great choice!
Sorry for the delay, I have been very busy and also hurt my arm. Luckily nothing serious but it’s complicating my crazy life.
Sending you my usual BIG hugs and love across the miles!
Such a pretty card Carol! I love how that pattern looks with this color design! The added similar embossed panel works great with it too! Always loved using these butterflies! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the other piece too! :)
